These two features together, with some scripting and a place to host the
repository, is in theory all that would be needed to make eclipse jars
automatically available to maven users.
I think that at the moment having a manually-updated repo could be
enough, at least for some time. It's just a matter of downloading an
eclipse release and run the mvn eclipse plugin that takes care of
generating jars and uploading them.
I think that it's better to have a final repository and to allow some
more testing: at the moment everything looks really good (I am
developing rcp applications since a couple of months and I am pretty
happy of what we have now), but there is still something that requires
a human eye.
For example the versioning scheme of eclipse artifacts doesn't
perfectly match the one used by maven: eclipse jars always have a
qualifier (build number in maven) and there is no difference between a
final release and a nightly build.
There is a (recently proposed/adopted) version numbering spec that
describes using the qualifier segment to distinguish between release,
integration, and nightly builds. See here for the details:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Version_Numbering
This is done consistently with the platform now, and the other Europa
projects are committed to it for Europa simulataneous release.
