Re: [jetty-dev] Fixing our TERRIBLE eclipse oriented build
|
only that we couldn't actually release with this in place since the
requirement is that all binaries in our jetty-distribution be
downloaded from eclipse.org websites....which is why I was proposing
to put them someplace safe that _we_ won't rip from underneath our own
build..
joakim was considering how a orbit-maven-plugin could potentially
determine how to update this aspect of the build and pull the correct
items automatically as part of the build...that might be worth looking
at or seeing if tycho is planning on solving the issue now they are
part of eclipse and will presumably have to deal with these inane
policies as well
