Hey everybody,

while diagnosing a problem with reporting install errors in the Marketplace 
Client (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=535821), I noticed that 
since RC3 we have two versions of HttpClient 4.5.2 in the Simrel repository.

I'm not sure yet if this is the cause of my bug in MPC, but in the past, these 
kind of version mixups have always been problematic.

I've dug around a bit (for details, see 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=535821), and the two versions are 
contributed by the Platform 
(org.apache.httpcomponents.httpclient_4.5.2.v20170210-0925) and by JGit 
(org.apache.httpcomponents.httpclient_4.5.2.v20180410-1551 - this one is new in 
RC3). The newer HttpClient version was introduced in Orbit I20180417184143 to 
make it safely co-exist with commons.logging 1.2 and commons.codec 1.10, 
neither of which are currently found in the Simrel repository.

While the version contributed by JGit is the current one from the Orbit Photon 
repository, I think at this point the easiest and safest thing to do would be 
for JGit to go back to the old version to get a consistent state of the Simrel 
repo again. The alternative would be to update ECF with the new version, respin 
the platform, and get the Mylyn SDK to use the new version as well.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
Carsten Reckord
