The talk on the packaging efforts for Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) was interesting in that it described the process the Eclipse Foundation uses to create the master Update Site from the 30+ individual project Update Sites that compose the Ganymede release. Buckminster is used to resolve project dependencies while some custom scripts are capable of creating the master Update Site. The source code is (of course) Open Source — so I will have to take a look to see if there is something we can use to improve our internal build processes.
