Packaging up the "extras" download is currently done by hand, although it would be a great candidate for automation.

Update our Custom Plugins

Maven Ant Tasks

We have bundled up the maven-ant-tasks jar as a platform extension; this allows our "refresh.xml" ant script to fetch jars from the maven repository.

If a new version of maven comes out:

• add the jar to libs, and remove the old one
• change the version number in the MANIFEST.MF
• change the plugin.xml file to advertise the jar to eclipse
  plugin.xml

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <?eclipse version="3.2"?>
  <plugin>
     <extension
           point="org.eclipse.ant.core.extraClasspathEntries">
        <extraClasspathEntry
              eclipseRuntime="false"
              library="lib/maven-ant-tasks-2.0.9.jar">
        </extraClasspathEntry>
     </extension>
  </plugin>

net.refractions.udig.dev

You can export the Home contents into extras/net.refractions.udig.dev following
