Short answer: switch to R4_3 tag.

Long answer: In general, any "I-build" can be duplicated by using the "I
tag" from that build (such as I20130625-0800). And basically our
"S-builds" and eventual "R-builds" are created by renaming the I-build
so even for the final Kepler release, you can compute what the I-tag was
... such as Kepler release is in a directory named R-4.3-201306052000 so
its I-tag would have been I20130605-2000. I give this long answer since
we only just finished tagging the Kepler Release (bug 410747), so there
might be windows of time when people need to use the I-tag. HTH

Out of curiosity, what's your use-case for "rebuilding" from tagged
version, say, instead of just using the release as your target. I'm not
questioning it, I can imagine several use-cases .... but, I'm interested
in "collecting" use-cases the community uses.

I'm producing Platform builds [1] for people who want use the Java8 support in the beta branches so while I'll use the BETA-Branches of various projects (jdt,pde,equinox) I want to have the rest of the stuff stay on what was shipped as Kepler.
