I have opened an issue for this now and will proceed removing the build steps that were used to "update" an existing site.

  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6443

It should simplified the build as well as the build instructions ;)

Re: Eclipse update site management

[Richard Eckart de Castilho <re...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

I have done some work in order to better integrate the building of the Eclipse update sites into the (release) build.

  https://github.com/apache/uima-uimaj/pull/200

tl;dr:

- before, building the Eclipse update site was an additional manual step
- the two UIMA Eclipse Features are built via Tycho as part of every build
- the UIMA update site is built via Tycho as part of every build
- there is an additional UIMA update site module now which publishes an update site referencing Maven artifacts (includes no artifacts itself) which could be published on Maven Central

Would anybody to like to have a closer look at the PR before I merge it?

Cheers,

-- Richard
