Once we release uimaj-3.0.0SDK, it will have associated eclipse plugins.
The plugins will be compatible with v3; the v2 plugins will be compatible with 
v2.

Currently, we are distinguishing projects that have a v2 and a v3 version
following the naming convention:

v2:  proj-name
v3:  proj-name-v3

We could do this also for eclipse update sites, by having a new top-level update
site.
Currently:
  consolidated top level:  www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site
    subsites for /uimaj/, /ruta/, /uima-as/, and /uimaj-v3-pre-production/

Proposed:
    subsites:  /uimaj, /ruta/, /uima-as/,
               /uimaj-v3/, /ruta-v3/, /uima-as-v3/ 
               (over time, these three components will have both v2 and v3 
versions)
               

Alternatively, we could just have the sites all together.  The disadvantage is
that it makes it harder (more error prone) when users are not ready to switch to
v3, because the "default" in eclipse is to show only the most recent version.
Doing it this way makes it more explicit to users.

I think we will have for some time users on both the v2 and v3 platforms.

WDYT?
