Re: [orbit-dev] Declaring Build: I20150412191215 - build improved.

With this build, the build has been changed to use Java 8 tools when it does pack200, to match the tools used by Eclipse Foundation's "batch signing service". (See bug 464100)

BUT,

So far that has not been applied to much since we use the "mirror with comparator" method to re-use bundles that have not changed (since the last release). Some testing implies that some of those "old bundles" might have to be not-packed, if we ever had to change them, but I hope to find time to put in an automatic "verify" test for each build, so we'll know right away when that is the case.

And, that's not to say there might be some reason to change a lot of the old bundles (to correct names, to make signing certificate current, etc.) but, we'll treat that separately.

Also, while doing this work, I've learned how important it is for consumers to not "re-sign" or "re-pack" any bundles they get from Orbit, but they should use the jar file, and *jar.pack.gz file (if it exists) "as is". I'm assuming most of the builders do this automatically, but, do not know details. (I know that PDE builds do not do it automatically and anything that is not to be re-signed, re-conditioned, etc., must be explicitly excluded from what is sent to the batch signing service).

Just wanted to be clear the Orbit builds were "open for business" and M7 isn't that far off!

Thanks,
