Re: [equinox-dev] [p2] ECF bundles not up to date in M6

[DJ Houghton <DJ_Houghton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott, the problem with the ECF JARs earlier this week was that they hadn't
replicated to our local servers here. So when people (Kim/Pascal) accessed
the URLs for the JARs from home it was all good but when the build machine
tried, it was redirected to a local machine which didn't have the JARs yet.
The easiest fix at the time was to revert our contribution to the one from
the previous map file so that's what I did. Like Pascal mentions, we will
look into moving up to the new versions.

The idea of dropping higher versions of bundles into your dropins folder is
referred to around here at the "patch" problem. It is on the list but it is
not implemented yet. Currently the workaround is to either use the same
bundle versions when exporting, or update the bundle.info file manually
with the correct information.
