Is it possible to provide a p2 update site for the Gemini Web container and its dependencies?

This will make easier setting up Gemini Web as a target platform in Eclipse.

Currently, if one want to set up Gemini Web as a target platform, she needs to:
1. Download the Equinox OSGi JAR.
2. Download the Gemini Web ZIP.
3. Extract the Gemini Web ZIP.
4. Create new Target Definition and add 3 different directories in it.

If there is a p2 update site available, then this can be reduced to just one step - new Target Definition from the p2 update site.

That's certainly feasible, so why not create an enhancement bugzilla to request that feature? The current committers are pretty busy (or about to go on vacation in my case), so this may take a while, but others may step forward and contribute a solution.

Sure. I submitted bug 321967.

Certainly, this is currently not a major issue. But IMHO, I believe a p2 site can boost the adoption of Gemini as a development environment for the future.
