[tools] Eclipse JRE support
I've put the HARMONY-127 (Eclipse plug-in for Harmony JRE support)
source code into SVN. Is there an appropriate Eclipse update site where
we can host the built plug-in, or should I create one on the Harmony server?
Regards,
Tim

Cool - we have a site somewhere. I'll go figure out where - there is an
Eclipse plug-in for Geronimo, so someone has already gone through this
with Infra...

Not sure what proper support you need. We can specify mirrors from the
site description file.

Maybe we should take this discussion onto the infra list ... and fix /
address concerns for all.

I agree -- let's have a proper distribution site.

Hi Tim,
There's several ASF projects out there already hosting eclipse plugins and the
infrastructure team so far wasn't all that happy if I remember correctly. I
think that the eclipse update mechanism doesn't properly support the use of
multiple mirrors, resulting in a lot of bandwidth being taken up from the ASF
hardware, and in general has rather broken HTTP support (always a thorn in the
eye of the ASF, where a lot of people that helped design and implement HTTP do
the system administration!) We should in general not take any kind of distribution
publishing (which this pretty much is) lightly, and shouldn't use SVN as a
"distribution location".
Please, let's not publish this SVN URL on the wiki or our website just yet.
- LSD, otherwise happy to have Geir sort it all out :-)

Personally I'd rather have a XML file to import in the Update dialogue
since it gives the correct values for both fields.

I've put the update site into our SVN here[1]. It's easy to move the
feature to another site if we want.
That URL is a bit of a mouthful though, perhaps we need a redirect from
http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/updates ?
(I'm assuming that most people know how to use an Eclipse update site to
install the plug-in.)
As always, patches, enhancements, and comments most welcome.

If there's not an appropriate or designated place for the Eclipse update
site, you can always check it into SVN and just point Eclipse updater to the
SVN ViewCVS URL.
Another nice feature of the update sites is that you can point the feature
URLs to any URL and you can redirect the plug-ins using the "archive"
elements.
