The Eclipse Orbit project provides bundled versions of third-party libraries that are approved for reuse in one or more Eclipse projects.
Orbit's primary update site is the following:
The orbit-aggregation update site, as the name suggests, is an aggregtion of the following sites:
- https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/simrel/maven-bnd/
- https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/simrel/maven-osgi/
- https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/simrel/maven-sign/
- https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/simrel/orbit-legacy
As a convenience, this Jetty site is also provided:
All these sites are managed by JustJ's org.eclipse.justj.p2.manager application
and hence follow the general documented structure.
Morever, the sites are self documenting, so please visit the above links to determine the most appropriate URL to use for your project's builds.
