Re: [dash-dev] Build Death Match @ EclipseCon?

Last week I had suggested the same thing,
here is the text of the first email I sent to Jason, Thomas & Henrik:

I'm not sure what the best format is.

Would you guys like to participate in a showcase of
the pros/cons of the 
three main technologies for building @ Eclipse: Athena/PDE, 
b3/Buckminster, Tycho/Maven?

Until all three converge, there will be benefits to each approach, and
I 
think it might be useful to show people how they differ, what their 
histories are (PDE wrapper for on-server headless builds, workspace &
target provisioning + headless building, using Maven/p2 repos for OSGi
builds), and where they're headed.

I'm not sure the best format for such a discussion, but I think we would
certainly want to present three technologies for producing the same 
build, and what each one nets you out of the box. We could look at 
something fairly simple, like GEF, then something fairly complex, like
VE or ATF, or even one of the deep-chain Modeling builds with their long
stacks of dependencies.
