It's not simply the consumption of the artifact after the fact.
The project has to be amenable to development outside of Eclipse.
For EGit it's not so much a concern because someone using IDEA is
not likely to be very interested in EGit. But there are lots of
people interested in JGit and Tycho is not going to work anywhere
but Eclipse on an IDE level.
That's a call for the JGit project, right?
Shawn already decided, he reverted the Tycho part and flipped it to
a pom-first maven-bundle-plugin build.
That was because of a blocking issue with Tycho's generated artefacts;
specifically, that they couldn't be consumed in any form by Maven 2
projects. I wouldn't call that a 'decided' as what's preferable, but a
workaround for something that couldn't be. Did we get a bug filed for
that? Otherwise, it would seem that any Manifest-first project can
only be used in conjunction with Maven 3, which means it's even less
compatible with Maven 2 than just using PDE to write the code and
having Buckminster generate Maven 2 compatible artefacts.
