Re: [cbi-dev] Unifying p2 & maven

as you stated, the maven and p2 repository formats are too different to unify them or even to convert them.

what we can still do though is use nexus as binary exchange hub for (zipped) p2 repositories produced by tycho builds [1].
That's a black box approach as far as Nexus is concerned (for nexus the zipped p2 repo is just another zip artifact), but at least you would have a single place for projects to publish and consume their (versioned!) repo binaries.

Jan

Subject: [cbi-dev] Unifying p2 & maven

Hi Everyone,

We're getting very close to cutting over the Eclipse platform to CBI. 
There will be a bit of cleanup stuff to be ready for Juno SR2 to 
cut-over as well.

I'd like to get people thinking about our next big challenge... figuring 
out and implementing a good solution for maven.eclipse.org.

Please read this for background & some thoughts I have on the matter:

I'd be grateful for some feedback to help make sure I haven't overlooked 
something important and to assist us to develop the right solution.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
