The ecosystem project aims at providing a coherent set of Eclipse update sites providing users a way to install and update Scala IDE and a selection of Scala related plug-ins.

Scala IDE user perspective

For a user of the ecosystem update sites, the structure looks like such:

http://download.scala-ide.org/ecosystem
         /scala29
            /dev
               /site
            /stable
               /site
         /scala210
            /dev
               /site
            /stable
               /site

Each site folder contains an ecosystem update site build around the Scala IDE versions of the given flavor (scala29/dev for milestone and rc builds on Scala 2.9.x, scala210/stable for final builds on Scala 2.10.x).

Scala IDE and plug-ins developers perspective

In addition to the site folders, a staging update site is available to plug-in developers.

http://download.scala-ide.org/ecosystem
         /scala29
            /dev
               /staging
               /site
            /stable
               /staging
               /site
         /scala210
            /dev
               /staging
               /site
            /stable
               /staging
               /site

The staging update site contains the versions of Scala IDE which are the base of the ecosystem site. They should be used to build versions of the plug-ins for the ecosystems.
