[tycho-dev] Advanced Integration Test for Tycho

[Christoph Läubrich <laeubi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is often hard to "strip-down" a problem/project so it fits int a 
Tycho Unit and/or Integrationtest that could be checked in into 
Git-Repository, maybe it is sometimes even not possible because of 
licensing concerns (license not compatible with EPL, ...)

What I think about is, if it would be possible to have some kind of 
"Advanced Integration Tests", that simply check-out a set of projects 
from Github and builds them with the current Tycho-Snapshot? That way it 
would be possible for users to supply a simple git-hub Url with a 
project currently failing and we can then integrate this into the 
test-suite use for debugging and alike.

To prevent us from regular changes, we could simply require that the 
repro host a special branch named tycho-integration-<buzillaid> that is 
never changed afterwards.
