Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] p2 repositories ... we can do better

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

please don't let my 'silly' comment derail the conversation here...it
was perhaps a careless word I threw out

anything that improves peoples experience with p2 would be a good
thing because right now for me it is still this black box that is a
bit hit or miss in terms of what is in it, what comes out of it, and
how its all organized

I am sure people can say the same about maven central, but 5 minutes,
a web browser and a bit of investigative spirit and clicking around
can sort that out...

by about the 5th jar file I have cracked open and sorting through
MANIFEST.MF files...that is where the eye glazing comes in from my
previous statement :)

so by all means please continue improving p2 repositories!  and if the
eclipse-signing-maven-plugin is supposed to be doing anything from
this conversation please bring that to my attention directly!

cheers,
jesse
