Save nightly builds as .zip rather than tar.gz so that eclipse can use [New Archived Site...] button.

Key: WOL-533
URL: http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/browse/WOL-533
Project: WOProject/WOLips
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wolips
Affects Versions: 3.3.* (nightly build please specify)
Environment: eclipse 3.3
mac os x 10.4.9
Reporter: D Tim Cummings
Priority: Minor
Many eclipse plugins are in a zip format (eg subclipse-site-1.2.1.zip). This means I can download them when connected to the internet and install them later offline without having to extract them. In eclipse Software Updates -> Find and Install, I click the [New Archived Site...] button and can select the zip file.
The wolips site downloads are already in the correct layout in every way for this to work except they are tar.gz instead of .zip files. I can convert them to zip using the following commands
tar -zxf wolips-4144-site.tar.gz
zip wolips-4144-site.zip features plugins site.xml
However, it would be convenient for everyone who does offline software updates if they already came in the zip format.
Note that versions of eclipse prior to 3.2.2 worked well with Archived Site files.
Eclipse 3.2.2 would not work with archived site files from anywhere.
Eclipse 3.3 works well with archived site files (again).
