Description David Williams CLA 2016-05-22 13:38:09 EDT 
In bug 493856 we moved the "clickthrough" information to the readme file. 

But at RC3 was felt risky to make too many changes to the "index templates". They are made to perform ok if clickthroughs do not exist (as they do not, for many platforms) but to simplify the templates we should also remove all the special logic that checks for them. 

In addition to  all the logic to see if a "clickthrough exists", this enhancment would also remove our special, custom "download.php" and instead we would directly use the one from the Eclipse Foundation (that controls mirror selection.

We will investigate this in 4.8
Comment 2 Sravan Kumar Lakkimsetti CLA 2018-07-24 04:36:36 EDT 
Removing the target as there are no plans for this
Comment 3 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2022-02-03 15:38:49 EST 
There are no longer clickthroughs AFAICT.
