Description

The file [1] on the Tuscany SCA Eclipse update site is very large (72MB) and downloads of this file by Eclipse frequently fail. Using a dynamically generated site.xml file that uses a mirror site for the feature and plugin downloads would improve this. Apache Directory Studio has implemented a solution; see [2] for an example of the dynamically generated site.xml file, and [3] for the sources and description.
