[news.eclipse.platform] Mirroring update site

["Dmitry Smirnov" <divis1969@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm wondering, is it possible to download some plugin using update site and
store it locally (as a local site)? This could help to distribute a package
in my LAN for other user.
Most of the packages are distributed either in archives or through update
site.

It is not trivial to create a local site using archive or manually download
an update site and store it locally.

For example WTP. Its ZIP is not an "archived site". And site.xml for WTP is
something horrible for manual downloading.

Thanks,
Dmitry
