Hi Mickael,

I don't have enough network bandwidth here to try it but based from the description in jira it sounds great.

But...

 "-Dmirror-target-to-repo.includeSources=true

Why is that name using about 4 different naming conventions ?

dash as spaces
dot as spaces
camelcase for spaces
insane length

Convention here are the same as in most Maven plugins:
* key is ${mojoName}.${mojoParameter}
* mojo name is often a dash-separated name
* mojo argument are Camel-case (just like java arguments)
* "insane" length is not a convention, it's just you don't like it, but it's actually the best way to understand what it does ;)
Read this line as "it sets the includeSources parameter of mirror-target-to-repo mojo to true".

What other options does this command have ?

mvn help:describe -Dcmd=org.jboss.tools.tycho-plugins:target-platform-utils:0.16.0-SNAPSHOT:mirror-target-to-repo -Ddetail

Other parameters cannot be set via command-line.

And isn't includeSources independent on wether we are creating a mirror or not ?

includeSources is a flag that change behaviour of the mirror goal. It adds sources to mirror.
So it's dependent.
