    No. However p2 can still install from old style update sites, though the 
experience is a little bit degraded than when you connect to a complete p2 
repository.

    This site contains all the OSGi bundles. When you browse it using the 
IDE integration of p2 you will only see the feature but  there is p2 
metadata for all the bundles
    http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4

    No.
    However I have heard about ppl wirting an adaptor to load OBR 
repositories in p2. Teh same could be done with Maven.
    I have also opened a bug to create p2 repository for the Orbit 
rpeository https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=241427
