So, you think its right as it is? Great!

Probably, and if not, it's not as bad as missing about.html files or unsigned jars, isn't it?


If everyone is using the new publishers, then I'd still like to understand why such vast numbers decided to use greedy=true (implicitly).

So it's a "Use the new publisher" thing… Is it obligatory for all eclipse projects? Or is it just a good practice.

Adopters can still decide if an optional dependency should be installed or not, by filtering it from the build target platform and Eclipse user can filter/deactivate the corresponding repository and so use a subset of project p2 repositories.
However, I don't want to convince you, that optional greedy make sense or not (by the way it was a default for years), I'd like that people accept, that this is a valid combination and don't nag on projects, who use it. :p

Thanks,

You are welcome.

Hi David,
    Still scores of projects that have not bothered to move to a current repo publisher so there are hundreds of incorrect "greediness" attributes.

Sure there are greedy optional dependencies in the repository, because it often just intended by projects. I don't understand, why are you talking about incorrect greediness? "Not a default" it not the same as "wrong".
IMHO this [1] report  is only useful for statistic purpose.
