Updating JDT

Hi,

I was testing a JDT update, but unfortunately, the download system
changed.

While the 3.3.1 binary can be obtained by a generic URL
(http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.1-200709211145/eclipse-JDT-3.3.1.zip), the 3.3.2 binary apparently does not have that (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.2-200802211800/eclipse-JDT-3.3.2.zip returns HTML). It should be possible (but ugly and failure prone, as before) to return to hitting a mirror directly.

Any ideas ?

Rémy

Perhaps in the future we could use heanet.ie mirror and put 3rd
party dependency there if they tend to change the download mechanism
frequently.
We are using it already when building (for native),
so it won't be a technical problem.
We have access to that box via SCP (all that is needed is persons
public key, and me or jean-frederic can add him)

This would also allow historic builds, without the fear that the
package will disappear in the future.

Unfortunately we cannot do that inside ASF because of licensing
issues, but thanks to Ireland's official mirror site we have
almost unlimited bandwidth and storage capacity.
