Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Help with p2.mirrorURL directive

Thanks Kim.  I've updated out build docs with that info:

I am the build Person for the WindowBuilder project and we are trying to get our code on to the download.eclipse.org site.  The Eclipse web master told us:
Your downloads should go here:
/home/data/httpd/
download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder

If you create a file:
/home/data/httpd/
download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/file.zip

You must use links like this:

http://eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/windowbuilder/file.zip

Please don't link directly to 
http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder since this bypasses the mirroring mechanisms.
and we asked
Any special considerations for update sites?
and they responded
 Your would use the p2.mirrorsURL directive, where the mirror URL is something like:
http://eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/windowbuilder/content.jar

I don't have more info on p2, sorry, but some folks on the cross-project list might be able to help out if you need it.

 
So I'm asking for more info on the p2.mirrorsURL.  I have done Google searches for it and have not come up with any documentation that explains this directive and where/how to use it.

I'm hoping some one on this list can help me.

Thanks in advance,
