Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2015-10-20 21:25:11 EDT 
Because the SDK (or other base products) is not available from a Maven repo, (see bug #479601) local builds have to acquire them over and over again from http servers. It uses bandwidth and adds time to the build.

In order to solve this problem, one way would be to allow people to provision the base product directly from p2 repositories. This way, thanks to the magic of Maven, the artifact would be obtained and then cached, which would make things more bearable when there is a lot of executions
Alternatively, RCPTT could become responsible for hosting the SDK and other packages into a Maven repo (see bug #479601).
