We just setup a nexus repo for the Equinox project but still need to setup 
the process for populating it with the Equinox releases:

John Ross and I are planning to get a process going soon to get the new 
repo populated.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=494491

As for the Felix resolver source.  We have needed to keep up with the very 
latest in trunk to fix bugs as needed.  When the bug is critical (for 
example, prevents Eclipse from launching) I fix the bugs first in Equinox 
and (always) immediately contribute back to felix trunk the fix.  Are you 
not able to find the source for Equinox?  The equinox and eclipse SDKs 
contain the source jars which include the felix source included in 
Equinox.

Subject:        [equinox-dev] How to find the newest equinox release?
Sent by:        [email protected]



I currently have problems with Apache Karaf when switching to equinox.

See:
http://apaste.info/btL

It happens with the default equinox that karaf ships which is 3.10.2 
provided by birt in maven central.

I looked into the equinox project pages to find a newer release:
http://download.eclipse.org/equinox/

The latest stable release seems to be mars2 which leads to:
http://download.eclipse.org/equinox/drops/R-Mars.2-201602121500/download.php?dropFile=org.eclipse.osgi_3.10.102.v20160118-1700.jar


Unfortunately this release does not seem to be available in maven central 
at all.
The latest release there seems to be 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.osgi</artifactId>
    <version>3.10.101.v20150820-1432</version>
</dependency>

So this one seems to be provided by tycho now? Are these releases by birt 
and tycho guaranteed to reflect the real equinox releases or are they 
maybe patching equinox?
Is there any better way? Does equinox have any maven repo where it puts 
its official releases? I think there were discussions about that a while 
ago but the discussion was kind of stuck at some point.

Another question is about the included felix resolver. The last time I 
looked into this the resolver sources were copied into the equinox 
sources. They were not equal to any
release of the felix resolver. Instead as far as I can remember the 
changes were cherry picked from some of the resolver commits. This makes 
it really difficult to tell how equinox behaves.
Is there any improvement in sight?
