The end result would be that doing "ls trunk" would show you a list of

Me like indeed. Who needs Felix to have Eclipse support anyway, other
than "that McAffer guy" ;o)
Seriously, I think we need a decision whether we are a pure OSGi group or want
to explicitly support work-arounds of Eclipse PDE bugs and special behaviour.
IMHO, I don't care about Eclipse support, and will not accommodate work
arounds in my own projects, just because PDE has no support or behaving
incorrectly to bundles that are otherwise correct.
IF Eclipse PDE support is required by/from Felix community, then the above
structure needs to be scrutinized by those who understand that issue.
Everyone like me, should just bow to the conclusion.
Well, I don't look at this as a "should we support PDE or not" type of
argument. I just know that our current approach kind sucks and could be
improved. Since we use maven it sounds like it could make better use of
maven too, so that is another argument.
However, I agree with you that if this will seriously cause problems for
people using this stuff in Eclipse, then they should voice their
concerns and potentially tweaks to make it work better, but certainly
Eclipse should not be the only reason so keep a repository structure we
do not like.
