Hi all,
Modules "o.eclipse.core.**" contain binaries that are either hard or
impossible to find in Maven central. Some times the versions are not
exactly equal, and I'm not sure if we should downgrade to a previous
version or upgrade to a newest one. We're talking of old binaries
(2012/2013 in certain cases) that are possibly gone forever.
Would it be possible to fetch these binaries from the
https://repo.eclipse.org/ maven repository instead? I think this has
many more versions that maven.central. (Don't know if this is the
official Eclipse maven repo, though).
We could add some sort of key in external/binaries-list in order to
select a Maven repository. In order not to interfere with the existing
contents we could use a comment-tag to specify the repository. Something
like:
#maven-repository: eclipse
Is this a good idea? How would it affect to the cached binaries? Should
I downgrade binaries to previous versions and leave this for a future
enhancement?
Thanks,
Antonio
