Re: [europa-build-workshop] Common Build Infrastructure

[Pete Mackie <pete@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I support this Denis......

Be advised that we may do some Europa build feasibility, debug, and
testing work on ecf.eclipse.org for the
Buckminster/Maven Build Enablement for BIRT and
ECF task. We will work this way to have control of our own
screw-ups and relieve you of administering development issues on the
"monster machine." As we get going, I will work with you so
that whatever we do has the fit, form, and function for your
"monster machine" environment.
