Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2007-07-26 11:26:25 EDT 
In MetadataCache.java there are some references to things in the engine.  e.g., 

InstallableUnitEvent
RollbackOperationEvent
CommitOperationEvent

One should be able to program/manipulate metadata repos without having an engine around.
Comment 1 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2007-08-07 10:50:10 EDT 
I agree. This dependency is the result of not willing to create yet another bundle to contain MetadataCache (and also because MetadataCache currently extends a class what is not API). 
We could either:
- create a new bundle
- find a better location
- make the dependency on engine optional
Comment 2 Jeff McAffer CLA 2007-08-07 10:58:30 EDT 
or make MetadataCache hook in a different way.
Comment 3 John Arthorne CLA 2009-05-14 17:05:08 EDT 
Obsolete. Metadata repo no longer has any dependency on engine. MetadataCache no longer exists.
