[eclipse.org-planning-council] Tedious to get all of this stuff into a G

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, this comment was left on my recent blog post[1] about the 
SWT/Cocoa port:
> Thanks, Wayne, I’m attempting to do just that with our Eclipse

> though, since the community has done such as brilliant job with adding 
> more and more useful projects that we’re building on for our

> application. Just today alone I’ve spent hours chasing down update 
> sites for milestone releases that have no consistent URL address 
> scheme really. The last Eclipse Modeling Tools integrated build (M7) 
> was totally botched and a bug opened on it, and there is no such 
> product release yet for RC1, so I’m having to cobble this together 
> hour by tedious hour. These projects are each individually totally 
> cool and great, but collectively they are a huge pain to consume.
