Non-marketplace update site

[rektide]

Hi.

Use case first: every single workplace I've been to which uses Eclipse has a wiki page with a bunch of sites to add and a list of boxes to check once update sites have been installed. This is easy to document, and totally rote. I would like to be able to do this with m2eclipse.

I understand there's a new Eclipse Marketplace thing and that there's a centrally maintained list of connectors. This documentation talks about this: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Submitting_M2E_marketplace_entries and inside the doc is a URL to the list of m2e marketplace items. m2eclipse-egit's for example has an entry that looks like this: https://repository.sonatype.org/content/sites/forge-sites/m2eclipse-egit/0.14.0/N/0.14.0.201110251725/ . I had hoped this might be usable without going through the fucked up new

Please provide an oldschool install site as well for m2eclipse-egit! I have a org.sonatype repo somewhere in my install list that has 0.14.0.201110251725, but going through the Eclipse Marketplace there's also a 0.14.0.2012070410 that is available (And works, unlike the old one), and this ought be available via install sites too, not just the marketplace.

cut myself off, the fucked up new is: window -> preferences -> maven -> discovery. open catalog -> scroll to m2e-egit.

THAT will bring it full circle to doing the normal install wizard. So much less elegant than adding a site and ticking a box, which was uniform to installing anything in maven. Messed up I say! Messed right up!
