Re: [gmf-dev] GMF 2.1.0M6 :: Status Update

[Richard Gronback <richard.gronback@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't access the emf.toro machine to check what the failures are, but note
that we had tests failing with the old build system:
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmf/downloads/drops/N-N20080325-2008032
50600/testResults.php

I'd prefer to publish a day late with no/fewer test failures.  Perhaps we
can also use platform's M6a build as well, if we wait a day.  Only UML2
Tools depends on us, and they have until the 9th.

Best,
Rich

PS - Thanks Max and Nick for getting us this far in migrating the build (it
hasn't been fun, I know).
