[cbi-dev] An "Eclipse central repository"

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

What makes Maven great is that everything is available through a "Maven central repository". It is pretty easy to find a dependency.
What about setting up an "Eclipse central repository" where all releases of all project could push their bits?
It would ensure that Eclipse.org keeps an archive of everything that has been produced, and it would be a good entry point for most Eclipse consumers. It is "just" a step to add to the release process: "When releasing a project, you have to ask your new release repositories to be merged into the central repository".

Regards,
