[m2e-users] Plugins that were installed unpacked (as folders) in m2e 1.1

[Roberto Sanchez Herrera/Mexico/IBM <rsanchez@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 
I noticed that when you installed m2e
version 1.1, the following plugins would be installed as folders in the
eclipse/plugins folder, and not as jars:

org.eclipse.m2e.archetype.common_1.1.0.20120529-1956
org.eclipse.m2e.lifecyclemapping.defaults_1.1.0.20120530-0009
org.eclipse.m2e.maven.indexer_1.1.0.20120529-1956
org.eclipse.m2e.maven.runtime_1.1.0.20120529-1956

And the feature.xml does not specify
the unpack attribute for them, which according to Eclipse docs, its  default
value is true,


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
?>

</feature>

Now in m2e version 1.2, those plugins
are installed as jars under eclipse/plugins directory. But the feature.xml
did not change: it still contains the same four plugins without the unpack
attribute. 

Is this an error? 

Thank you.
