    Description

      The UIMA Eclipse update site (www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site) is an Eclipse 3.3 (or older) update site. Since Eclipse 3.4, the recommended update site layout is p2:

      I've been bitten by this update site issue because old-style update sites make it impossible to resolve build-time dependencies when building Eclipse plugins:

      Could the UIMA update site be modernized to the p2 layout?
