[Rxtx] Eclipse bundles and update site for rxtx-2.1-7r2

[Oberhuber, Martin]

This sounds great !

So here is my rough plan:
- Since the existing /rxtx-devel repository is not Eclipse friendly in its layout, I'd like to start a new /rxtx-eclipse repository for the administrative files needed to automatically build site (with .../plugins, /features, /releng siblings as we do these days at Eclipse)
- I would initially want to checkin prebuilt binaries into CVS and have just the Java part built by Jenkins / Maven / Tycho, which is state of the art at Eclipse these days
- Adding a step which builds binaries locally and replaces checked-out artifacts by the local build should be easy later on.
- I'm not yet sure about unittests, I wrote something minimal long ago ... extending this could also be considered once the basic infrastructure is up.

Sounds good ?

Thanks
Martin

Hi Dr Johnson,

We don't have a committers mail-list and many of those with commit access satisfied their personal requirements long ago.

I would just start with Martin and I.  As committers become active, we (or
you) can give them credentials.
