CBI Update

- 11 minutes and just 3 commands to build the Eclipse platform on any system with git, Java JDK, and Maven. This is a big step forward in terms of ease of use and flexibility.
- Signing service
- We now have a really easy to use web service for signing. It uploads the software to sign, and downloads the signed software in 1 command on-demand
- We're also working on MacOS & Windows signing which will be available later.
- Project status
- Building in the LTS forge today: Mylyn, EGit, JGit, CDT, Eclipse platform, tycho, m2e
- Working to adopt CBI: WTP, Stardust
- Others are moving on their own to adopt CBI. We either learn about them from their questions or as we step through the list of projects inventorying who's using what.
- Contributions
- Thank you to Red Hat (Krzysztof Daniel & colleagues) for a significant contribution to make SWT & Equinox launchers buildable with CBI.
