May 2025 focused on enhancing the build infrastructure for eclipse-simrel/simrel.build by delivering Build Process Automation through automatic aggregation of feature groups. This change removes explicit dependencies on source.feature.group from the aggregation configuration, relying on automatic aggregation of source bundles and features from p2 repositories. Result: streamlined build configuration, reduced manual maintenance, and improved build reliability and scalability as new features are integrated.
