Simon Nash commented on TUSCANY-3860:
-------------------------------------
The solution is to download from a mirror, but how does the user find a
suitable mirror? The solution implemented by Apache Directory Server returns a
mirror automatically when Eclipse accesses the site.xml file. If a Tuscany
user needs to enter a mirror URL manually into Eclipse, how would they get the
list of mirrors and how would they know which mirror to choose?

> Key: TUSCANY-3860
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-3860
> Project: Tuscany
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java SCA Tools
> Affects Versions: Java-SCA-1.6.2
> Reporter: Simon Nash
>
> The file [1] on the Tuscany SCA Eclipse update site is very large (72MB) and
> downloads of this file by Eclipse frequently fail. Using a dynamically
> generated site.xml file that uses a mirror site for the feature and plugin
> downloads would improve this. Apache Directory Studio has implemented a
> solution; see [2] for an example of the dynamically generated site.xml file,
> and [3] for the sources and description.
