Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-2475:
--------------------------------------
Peter, I have no objection :-). One thing to note: the current design for
building the update site has to do some unusual operations, some "manual", in
an attempt to preserve the "previous" releases at the update site, and
incorporate them. This allows people to select a particular release (not
always the latest). to install. The description of this process is here
(improvements welcome!): [http://uima.apache.org/release.html#Stage the
(partial) eclipse-update-site]
> eclipse p2 update site instead of old-style update site

> The UIMA Eclipse update site (www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site)
> is an Eclipse 3.3 (or older) update site. Since Eclipse 3.4, the recommended
> update site layout is p2:

> I've been bitten by this update site issue because old-style update sites
> make it impossible to resolve build-time dependencies when building Eclipse
> plugins:

> Could the UIMA update site be modernized to the p2 layout?
