HOWTO: Build a XulRunner 1.9.1.2 Update Site with Tycho 0.8 + Maven 3

0. Install Maven 3 by downloading then unpacking the tar.gz:

cd /tmp; \
wget http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/apache/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0-alpha-7-bin.tar.gz; \
tar xvzf apache-maven-3.0-alpha-7-bin.tar.gz; \
chmod 755 apache-maven-3.0-alpha-7/bin/mvn; \
alias mvn3='/tmp/apache-maven-3.0-alpha-7/bin/mvn'

1. Check out sources:

cd /tmp; \
svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/branches/modular_build/xulrunner/; \
wget http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/branches/modular_build/parent-pom.xml

2. Run build:

cd xulrunner; mvn3 -fae clean install

3. You will get a p2 repo / update site in the target folder of the site project, from which you can install XulRunner or XPCOM into your Eclipse.

cd site/org.mozilla.xulrunner.site/target/site

Note that the parent-pom.xml used above can in fact be much simpler. You only need the following:
