This script moves the update site to a staging area on jboss.org, e.g. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/SwitchYard-Tools/ 
Notice the use of the job name in the target URL.

The script used by this job configured to copy the content from the staging area to the download space on jboss.org, e.g. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/integration/juno/soa-tooling/switchyard/1.0.0/ 
The script allows you to configure the build type (e.g. integration, development, stable), the target Eclipse release (e.g. juno, kepler), the project name (e.g. switchyard) and the version (e.g. 0.8.0, 1.0.0, etc.). In addition to copying the bits, it also updates composite*.xml files in the parent directory, which allows users to point simply to http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/integration/juno/soa-tooling/switchyard/ and see all available versions.
