- Decouple build and test bug 261388
- Investigate tests in the cloud
- Modular build (Using chaining aspects of hudson)
- Install tests with director instead of using dropins bug 266486
- Replace many zips with repos bug 280622
- Switch to JUnit4 bug 153429
- Nova theme on build page, move all .php to www.eclipse.org instead of download.eclipse.org bug 262440
- Run compare tool against p2 repos instead of sdk bug 268851
