Re: [equinox-dev] Getting equinox artifacts using maven

[Benson Margulies <benson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a good deal of experience in pushing things to Maven Central
via OSSRH, and I would not see it as especially difficult for Equinox.

One strategy is to build a project that unpacks an SDK zip file and
then tees it back up as a collection of Maven artifacts; it's trivial
(if a trifle laborious) to do this with one-pom-per bundle in Maven
itself. I bet gradle or something could be notationally more concise.

Can I help?
