[epp-dev] Archive creation through shell script

[Pascal Rapicault <pascal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In an attempt to add the creation of a debian package for the CPP 
packages [1], I'm perusing through the EPP poms and I notice that the 
product archives are created by a shell script (createArchives.sh).
Could someone shed some light on why this is being used instead of tycho 
built-in capability to package the products?

Thx

Pascal
