The removal should be broadcast to the cross project list etc. I just saw some posts there with someone claiming to be using the EclipseGenerator... Like roaches, where there is one, there may be others.. ;-)

There is a kind of compatibility layer
that re-implements the metadata.generator's applications using the publisher.
I believe PDE/Build was changed to use the publisher this way to
support 3.4 style releng setups that may still be around.
In theory, the metadata.generator was
transparently replaceable, but we never fully pulled the trigger on the
EclipseGenerator application.
