Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] JustJ JREs and download.eclipse.org Brows

[Karsten Thoms <karsten.thoms@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed!

I really appreciate this initiative. In my current project we are also packaging JREs in a p2 repo and bundle them in RCP products. Seems that this custom thing can become obsolete. We will try that out and provide feedback.

Thanks,
~Karsten
