Re: [wtp-incubator-dev] Migrate incubator projects to Git?

I'm happy to hear about the Tycho. I use maven heavily since many years. (I have been personally following the Tycho development since 6 months, unfortunately it requires Maven 3 which has not yet a final release and so is not considered stable [company policy]). I could definitively use the infrastructure for build dita-related maven plugins. 

The question is how to publish released artifacts to the internet? I can imagine some core Vex projects will be reused by other projects building on top of Vex, and having the bundles/artifacts in a maven repository would be a good thing for those external projects.

Note that maven has a viral effect. (good or bad, depending how you see it)

I tried using the eGIT recently and found it very fast but rather complicated (I guess the advantage of having the own repository, means extra overhead dealing with that repository ). Considering not just what is within Eclipse, but the command line tooling, or also the explorer integration tooling (i.e. in Windows).  I think it with get better over time.
