Dani, would it be helpful if I replicated
the update site to to Zurich like some of the zips are today?

Hi Pascal,

while this is nice to test/verify the new code it is not practical for
us
as we get the builds pushed once
and can then start to work. Unlike you guys we have thin line to OTT and
each team member downloading
the I-builds via update site will let us wait and also make that line even
thinner. Besides that we use several
other plug-ins which aren't hosted on that update site.

Looking forward to the Thursday build where links and dropins work.

Dani

Earlier today we contributed to the rebuild to address issues with the
links and dropins folders. Unfortunately, the changes made it worst and
now
it no longer works (see bug 222370).

That said, I'm making the claim that with p2 you (as someone adopting I
builds every week) no longer need these mechanisms since it is possible
to
*update* from one I-build to another without loosing what is installed.
This means that if today you install through p2 a plug-in from any update
site, it will stay with you :-).

So now, how do you verify that this claim is true? Simply go to the Help
>
Software Updates, "Available Features" and drag & drop the
following URL on
the dialog (or you can choose to click on the "manage sites..."
button).
      http://update.eclipse.org/testUpdates/
This site contains each SDK I-builds as well as the releng tools. Therefore
if you are looking for updates and have Tuesday's I-build installed you
will be able to just update to Wednesday's I build and later to the
Thursday's build that I'm requesting now (our map files are not updated
yet).
