[News.eclipse.technology.packaging] Re: modifying client-side udc UI

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no support for overriding user acceptance of the terms of use. 
This was an explicit design decision. So, the first -D parameter does 
what you expect; the second parameter has no effect.

I recommend that you open a bug if you want to discuss the issue.

As part of the Helios release, we really want to refactor the code base 
to make reuse of parts easier. There is also some effort underway to 
merge the Mylyn Monitor code with the UDC. Your input into this effort 
will be greatly appreciated.
