Description Francois Le Fevre CLA 2017-11-27 09:00:20 EST 
We are facing a difficulty since Papyrus evolves quickly and its based on Eclipse plugins that do not release sometime under the main Eclipse update site.
Moreover some Papyrus components are also facing this difficulty and they need to solve it by incoporating the manual update site from Papyrus into their own targetplatform.

This results in duplciation and time waste due to the fact that each upgrade introduce a break in the targetplatform that are not anymore revolable.

I would like to benefit from the tycho targetplatform feature that allow multiple artifact resolution [1].
The target platform could be publish into the Eclipse Nexus independly from Papyrus.
So other components could resolve them by nexus repository and based their own on top of it.

IMHO, it could be definitively good for Papyrus galaxy.
