[equinox-dev] Seconders for bug 544061 - [releng] Reuse rt.equinox.binar

[Mykola Nikishov <mn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Initially, to build rt.equinox.framework/pom.xml with native launchers
using Tycho, you have to put source code of rt.equinox.binaries into a
specific location:

- rt.equinox.framework and rt.equinox.binaries must share the same
  parent folder
- rt.equinox.framework expects rt.equinox.binaries' directory name
  exactly as 'rt.equinox.binaries'

In other words, the only supported layout is:

    /path/to/rt.equinox.framework/
    /path/to/rt.equinox.framework/.git
    /path/to/rt.equinox.binaries/
    /path/to/rt.equinox.binaries/.git

but not:

    /path/to/equinox/framework/ <- job's workspace root
    /path/to/equinox/framework/sources/
    /path/to/equinox/framework/sources/.git
    /path/to/equinox/framework/.repository/
    /path/to/equinox/binaries/ <- job's workspace root
    /path/to/equinox/binaries/sources/
    /path/to/equinox/binaries/sources/.git
    /path/to/equinox/binaries/.repository/

I use such layout on Jenkins, where project's source code and
per-project Maven local repository are different directories.

[1] is the 3rd (and I think, the last) step that would relax
these restrictions and will make second case work.
