Re: [equinox-dev] Meta-Type Annotations

The Metatype annotations are already available on Maven Central/JCenter. Since the annotation classes are not visible/used at runtime, I am curious as to why Eclipse needs to distribute them?
 
Also, what part of Eclipse will even process the Metatype annotations? Does PDE do that? As far as I know, only Bnd processes Metatype annotations. Unless PDE processes the annotations, there is little point in distributing them with Eclipse IDE.

Thanks Scott. I'll try submitting a CQ for a subset of that jar (just Meta Type annotations). I was thinking if those classes were already distributed with some Eclipse code (rather than just being attached to a CQ) then I would be able to repackage them, but maybe that's not even true.

Looking at https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8618, the latest attached jar (https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/attachment.cgi?id=12761) does have those annotations, but I can't find that jar included anywhere in Eclipse (git, build, p2 repo... anywhere); not even Orbit has the latest version.
