Description Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-11-15 13:19:01 EST
Sapphire build system automatically downloads various packages from eclipse.org that are necessary for the build. The downloads are cached in ${basedir}/downloads. We need ability to share downloads between multiple branches. 

It should be possible to invoke build with an explicitly specified downloads directory, like so:

ant clean-start -Ddownloads=[some-folder]
Comment 1 Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-11-15 13:46:51 EST
Enhancement implemented.
Comment 2 Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-12-15 15:29:44 EST
We can consider this verified. This feature has been extensively used for weeks by everyone on the team.
Comment 3 Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-12-15 15:30:34 EST
Forgot to mention... This feature is also in use to reduce disk space usage on Hudson by sharing downloads between different Sapphire jobs.
