> If you look in here [1] you'll see I'm already pulling m2e-wtp + latest m2e + m2e-jdt, m2e-apt, etc. into a single snapshot, then sharing that with the juno requirements mirror [2].

Ok, did not notice that, I think it's a good approach. We should replace "URL3" in the build.xml file to reference the Eclipse build. WDYT?

> So... would it not be simpler to get Fred to announce when it's time to pull a new mirror (JBIDE-12516, JBIDE-12517) and have you or I do so, updating not just the reqs but the TP at the same time?

Agreed.

> So rather than worrying about a second builder for m2e-wtp separate from the overall m2e one, could we not just remove "requirements/m2eclipse/m2e-wtp-juno/" from the composite reqs mirror [2] so that its content will always match the .target files? 

Agreed again.

> m2e gets pushed to the updates/requirements/m2e-wtp.juno url, whose content get overridden. However, published target-platform still depends on old content until they get modified.
> We should find a better process that prevent target platforms from being broken, and that would make build reproducible.
> A solution would be to keep old versions of m2e-wtp under the m2e-wtp.juno folder (1 child folder for each version), and to modify target-platform on request to use the newer version.
