------------------------------------

Yes. For example:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/
vs.
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/soa-tooling/trunk/
vs. 
http://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/5.0.0/5.0.0.M5.core/
vs.
http://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/5.0.0/5.0.0.M5.extras/
vs.
http://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/5.0.0/5.0.0.M5.soa-tooling/

etc.

Pages are generated specific to the content they display, and include a site.xml -> index fragment XSL transform so that the page lists the features and their versions (and they categories) to facilitate QE's work.

> The eclipse-repository packaging type is a better way to go:
> * It reads "category.xml" files (renamed site.xml files)
> * It supports the materialize-products action to extract the products from it
