Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Europa re-spins and Europa Fall maint

["Nick Boldt" <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I can explain the EMF and MDT failures.

We want to track who's downloading [1] our bits -- zips and update
jars. In order to be able to do so for the jars, I spoke with Denis
and his suggestion [2] was to embed the download.php URL in the update
site xml. This I did, then added it to our builder so it does it for
all our projects.

[1] http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/downloads/stats.php
[2] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=195022

The result is that our site.xml looks like this:

	<feature id="org.eclipse.emf.sdk" version="2.3.1.v200707171853"
url="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?r=1&amp;file=/modeling/EMF/updates/features/org.eclipse.emf.sdk_2.3.1.v200707171853.jar";
patch="false">
		<category name="EMF SDK 2.3.1 M200707171853"/>
	</feature>

instead of the simpler and untrackable:

	<feature id="org.eclipse.emf.sdk" version="2.3.1.v200707171853"
url="features/org.eclipse.emf.sdk_2.3.1.v200707171853.jar"
patch="false">
		<category name="EMF SDK 2.3.1 M200707171853"/>
	</feature>

So, I throw myself at the mercy of the O'Matic and beg for both
forgiveness and the added support for stripping everything in the
<feature url=""/> attribute before 'features/' when parsing the XML to
find files, but keeping it when generating the output site.xml for
download stat tracking.

Is this doable?
