That was fast, right?  Nice to see, honestly (from both of you).  I keep
poking in on the automated build solutions from time to time, and wasn't
really feeling Tycho.  Nothing against it, for sure (I'm a lover of
build systems, and goldberg machines) plus, EGit uses it fine-- but
Buckminster sounded more like what I was after.

The Eclipse landscape is always changing though (for all that it stays
the same) so I was curious as to the current state of affairs.  Color me
happy with the buckminster!

Three *is* the magic number.  :)

Cool.  I'll reply to Wim 'cause I mostly typed it already, and do any
more questions like that in the user sphere.  Better to have the info
together for future "me"s.  I owe the universe a blog post about my
experience as well, I reckon.

Yay!  I'll use -users now that I know there is one, probably.

Newsgroups are second only to IRC for things that I get too involved
with, but maybe I can control myself these days.  Plus, as you say, it's
just an interface.  All in the mind, so to speak.  :)

Thank you for the information, Henrik!
