Re: [tycho-dev] removing "tycho" repository layout from 0.13

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe I was not clear enough. I am specifically talking about *remote*
maven2 repositories with tycho/p2 metadata deployed as p2content.xml and
p2artifacts.xml files. I plan to keep use of local maven repository as
is for now.

I pushed my changes to github so have a look. In brief, I had to
align lifespans of P2RepositoryCache and IProvisioningAgent instances to
make sure all IArtifactRepositories kept in cache still use live agent
instance. I did not find a pretty way to keep *remote* tycho
repositories in the cache.
