I don't think I've "sent this out" before ... apologies if I am repeating 
myself. 

I'm sure everyone is familiar with 

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Simrel/Contributing_to_Simrel_Aggregation_Build

but I recently added a section: 

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Simrel/Contributing_to_Simrel_Aggregation_Build#The_best_format_and_process_for_contributing_to_Sim._Release

In short, use composites, so your "old" contribution stays around, while 
you prepare your new contribution, and 
use a specific URL in your b3aggrcon file that points to a simple 
repository, not composite, and is updated for every new contribution, and 
use brackets such as
versionRange="[4.0.0.201503231230-m1]"
to specify exactly which version you intend to contribute. 

I think it's too late this development cycle to "enforce" a particular 
format (or, formats), but I think we will in the future, so it is to your 
benefit to at least participate in the discussion now. The goal is to have 
fewer "build breaks" as well as more predictable, repeatable, and precise 
results. 

I'd appreciate any comments, or potential improvements, on that section to 
be discussed in  Bug 419746 (not on this list). 

In particular, if any projects currently use any tools, or scripts, or 
plugins, to help them form the "ideal input", it would be helpful to share 
what you have, even if not general purpose or ready for production use. 
Please provide pointers or ideas in the bug. 

Thanks,
