Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-21657:
------------------------------------

I disagree. We will potentially need a way to aggregate builds from multiple PRs across multiple projects.

We can't (easily) do that if we're fetching bits archived inside Jenkins, since the bits are behind the VPN. 

Surely having the bits on a centralized, public, download server is better (faster downloads, more accessible) than trying to do behind the VPN?

Does Jenkins archive zips for multiple PR builds, or just the latest artifacts? 

I see artifacts here:
http://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-server_master/916/artifact
http://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-server_master/969/artifact
but not here:
http://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-server_master/966/artifact
http://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-server_master/968/artifact

What if there's a lot of PRs coming in and Jenkins deletes the old PR builds? 

We can retain artifacts longer on download.jboss.org than in MW Jenkins (and have different retention rules) if we split the concerns here: 
* one server for building/deploying/testing, and
* one for storage of the output.
