Description Kim Moir CLA 2012-03-15 15:39:16 EDT 
Will attach a patch against R4_2_primary of org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder which I'm using to test the 4.2 build as primary (bug 355430) to remove the platform.sdk zips as suggested by John.  The platform.sdk ius will still remain in the repo.

Was it just the platform.runtime zips that we had to keep?

Comment 3 Kim Moir CLA 2012-03-16 10:02:08 EDT 
Yes, John said to remove the platform sdk zips only.
Comment 4 John Arthorne CLA 2012-03-16 10:05:11 EDT 
We had another bug report where I listed download stats for all the different outputs and we had agreed Platform SDK was the obvious candidate to remove. I can't find that bug now for some reason. The Platform runtime binary, and Eclipse SDK, are the two popular "per platform" zips that I think we still need to produce.
Comment 5 Kim Moir CLA 2012-03-16 10:39:32 EDT 
Patch released to R4_2_primary branch of org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder
Comment 6 David Williams CLA 2012-05-08 01:46:01 EDT 
This was fixed as 4.2 became primary build.
Comment 7 Adriaan Peeters CLA 2012-06-15 08:40:22 EDT 
What is the best approach to create a platform-sdk like environment for 4.2 (and 3.8)? Install Eclipse SDK and add Eclipse Platform SDK feature?

Maybe add this to release notes or at least in this bug.

The Platform SDK was simply the Platform Runtime product, along with its source code. If you don't need the source code, then the Platform Runtime binary download is suitable. You can also use Eclipse SDK, which is essentially Platform SDK plus JDT and PDE and their source. 

Finally, if you want exactly the old Eclipse Platform SDK, it still exists in our p2 repository and can be installed from there. You can either install it into the platform runtime binary from the user interface, or invoke the p2 installer application from the command line or ant.
