Description Andrew Overholt

I'm having issues fetching the e4 bits like we do for the Eclipse SDK.  If I let the builder do all the p2 mirroring as it's done upstream, I can get a tarball such as this: 

http://fedorapeople.org/~overholt/e4-HEAD-src.tar.bz2

It's not generated from a tag, though, and it's not easily reproducible due to the long amount of time it takes for the p2 mirroring.  I'm working on a fetch script similar to what we have for the 3.x SDK and I'll attach it here.

Actually, I just pushed my very preliminary work to the eclipse42 branch:

http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.eclipse-build.git/log/?h=eclipse42

See builde4Source.sh.

Can't we just use the git tag archives from http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4 e.g. http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/old/org.eclipse.e4.ui.git/snapshot/R4_1.tar.bz2

I think when I started this they were yet migrated :)  This could work out very well; thanks for the suggestion!

Using the 4.2 builder and full 4.2 maps seems to be the best approach (and it kind of works).
