Re: [p2-dev] Metadata generator

Crap I forgot to send a note on cross-project about this. Fixed :)

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 was a lot of work done in PDE/Build for 3.6 to move off the metadata generator.
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.

+1

Just to be sure, it's not being used anywhere in the SDK is it? (PDE/Build for example).

As someone who has dealt with people confused between which one to use, +1
