[news.eclipse.platform.pde] Re: repository name in artifacts.xml / conte

[Ben Vitale <bvitale3002@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can specify a name for the repository when p2 generates its metadata.

 http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Metadata_Generator

See the "metadataRepositoryName", "artifactRepositoryName" properties.

You can also specify these if you are running PDE build:
