Soft Acceleo

Soft Acceleo is a repository used to store a maven repository for the releases of Acceleo that are not available in the Eclipse Maven repository

The main idea is to retrieve Acceleo release from its p2 update site and to convert it to a maven repository.

Acceleo update sites are located : https://download.eclipse.org/acceleo/updates/releases/

1. Install Maven
2. In your Github account , create a personnal access token (PAT) with read/write packages rights and save these informations for in %User%/.m2/settings.xml file :

      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
      <servers>
		<server>
			<id>github</id>
			<username>[GITHUB USERNAME]</username>

</settings>
