at the time builds were locking up and getting the maven bits working
was proving to be difficult on the windows and macosx setup since that
was not a supported system

we ended up moving before the hudson instance had migrated to jetty
during that period of big stability issues a while back

we are using a jenkins setup in a nice vm which works well for us

I had opened bugs for some of the issues which resolved in such a way
that we were not allowed to do what we needed to due to Eclipse
policy, so we moved to our own setup.  Our project does not live just
at eclipse, we have components at the codehaus not to mention github
as well and we were not allowed to build anything that weren't at
eclipse here.  We toyed with having multiple CI setups but it just
made no sense in the end to keep all those things humming along.  Now
we just have the one job we really use that builds the p2 repository
for jetty8 because that needs to be signed and we can only do that
inside eclipse lands.

Not especially, so long as you fit in the box that eclipse IP policy
draws, no worries.  Its when you stray outside that box that things
get difficult...which is totally fine, it is a stated strength of
Eclipse to have the IP policies it does.
