Re: [mylyn-reviews-dev] Nightly build job configuration enhancements

[Steffen Pingel <steffen.pingel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds good.

As discussed on the Mylyn call today, I have requested a couple of
build jobs to setup integration builds against different Eclipse
versions:

 334965: create Hudson jobs for Mylyn
 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334965

I'll include Mylyn Reviews in those builds.
