No problem.

Great.

Can you explain me what is not working so that I can fix it? I guess the
.psf simply miss some new bundles right?

Yes :-) because I'm happy with my virtual structure and always postponed
the updateing of the maven stuff.

If something is not working this is a bug and we/I have to fix it. I'll
try to do a checkout myself tonight and upgrade the target setup to use
the Galileo GA (we are on some rc now IIRC).

The only part of our project that needs a patched version of databinding
is the GWT stuff because some parts don't compile.

When repacking stuff for maven please use our code-google repo and don't
submit any external code to our Eclipse-Repo. Ideally we consume
packages from Eclipse-Orbit.

The list of approved ones is found here:
