[orbit-dev] Please try latest I-build ...

This weekend, I've changed the build
to no longer produce the "bundles" directory as we have for the
past 5 years. Besides no longer wasting this space, it makes a few other
differences, the most significant is the "get http format" maps.
They used to point to ../bundles jars and zips, and now just point to .../repository/plugins
jars. But, the ones that should be unzipped when installed, are still marked
"unpack=true" and according to the discussion in bug 334488 [1]
this should still work fine with PDE build, for those that still use the
old "get http format" maps. But, that's my request to "please
try" ... if anyone still uses (or know any projects that still use)
these "get http format" maps, please have them try out the latest
I-build, before we declare an S-build on Friday, just in case there is
some unanticipated effect. I did try a little test build in our webtools
project build, but we don't normally use those "get http" map
files (we use the p2 format, normally) so not sure our build is the best
test. This change also changes what the individual links on download page
table point to [2], but that's more of an individual developer-user workflow
change, nothing related to production, and hopefully those individual links
are rarely used. There should be no other changes or implications.  Let
us know if you notice anything amiss. 

Thanks,
