+---------------------------
+The Apache Tuscany Eclipse update site is located under http://tuscany.apache.org/updatesite.
+It is based on the Apache Directory Studio update site, with minimal changes.
+
+The Tuscany update site consists of the following files:
+
+ +--tuscany.apache.org
+ |
+ +--updatesite
+ |
+ +--README (this file)
+ +--java
+ |
+ +--sca
+ |
+ +--1.6.2 (and later releases)
+ |
+ +--.htaccess
+ +--index.html
+ +--LICENSE
+ +--NOTICE
+ +--site--xml.html
+ +--site--xml.cgi
+ +--web
+ |
+ +--site.css
+ +--site.xsl
+
+The update manager of Eclipse and the RCP application automatically tries to
+access the site.xml to get new updates or features. Our .htaccess contains
+a rewrite rule to forward from site.xml to site--xml.cgi.
+
+The site--xml.cgi just calls Apache's mirrors.cgi to get a list of available
+mirrors.
+
+The site--xml.html is a template of the real site.xml. The url of the
+preferred mirror determined by the cgi script is applied to this template.
+
+With this trick the update manager always gets a URL to another mirror.
+The update manager loads the features and plugins from these mirrors. So
+the mirrors must contain the features and the plugins directories.
