Re: [nebula-dev] Eclipse ICE - nebula version update breaks build

[Max Hohenegger <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

same here. Having a "stable" repository would be convenient.
I use Nebula in two projects, and work around this and other issues
by hosting internal mirrors, however, the mirror build will break,
if the Nebula site changes.

Best regards
Max

We do have a proxy repository served by Artifactory to increase performance and take some load off the Eclipse servers and mirrors. However the build will still break if the contents of that repository suddenly change.
