No, the first one to let me work in my IDE is the winner. The Mvn task 
does not block my workspace.

Btw. just so we compare the right apples and oranges - which target file 
do you want me to use ? also .multiple ?

Since I can also use the mvn output as a mirror setup it at least for me 
is much faster and reputable.

btw. if tycho is so much slower - I wonder what it is doing since PDE 
should be doing the same thing...

You want me to report broken network connections to eclipse.org mirrored 
servers ?
