Description Pascal Rapicault

A large part of p2 downloads files (repo content, artifacts, etc.). Even though the robustness is not bad, there are still room for improvement by providing the ability to checksum the files being downloaded, retry strategies, etc.

Enough work has happened here for Galileo that we can mark this done. We switched to Apache HTTP client, and fixed many transport bugs (see "depends on" links).

be it as it may -- what am i supposed to do until then with 3,4?
i simply can't update -- either it works fast and fails quickly or it works slow and never finishes[1].

[1]
after deploying the workaround described elsewhere:
- export update sites (bookmarks.xml)
- shutdown eclipse
- remove $ECLIPSE_HOME/configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.*
- start eclipse again
- import bookmarks.xml
- run update -- will not finish in acceptable time (ie about two hours last time tested)
