Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-2475:
-----------------------------------
I uploaded my uimaj-eclipse-update-site project to
http://people.apache.org/~pkluegl/
The actual (composite) update site is located in target/eclipse-update-site and
new p2 repository in target/eclipse-update-site/2.4.0
Steven, can you please test if p2 repository works with Tycho?
Note that this is not a solution, but rather a showcase for testing. The
categories are for example still missing.
I'd propose that we start a discusson what our future update site should look
like and how it is built.
Here's my first guess:
We have a project with a composite update site that contains all provided
versions, e.g. with all plugins and stuff. Additionally, we could have a
probably additional project for building the latest version of the update site,
which is then added to the composite one by a script. The release manager could
then just copy the complete composite update site to the web server.
Has someone already tried to build the update site with Tycho
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Packaging_Types#eclipse-repository)?

> The UIMA Eclipse update site (www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site)
> is an Eclipse 3.3 (or older) update site. Since Eclipse 3.4, the recommended
> update site layout is p2:

> I've been bitten by this update site issue because old-style update sites
> make it impossible to resolve build-time dependencies when building Eclipse
> plugins:

> Could the UIMA update site be modernized to the p2 layout?
