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.
That should have said, "...should not be the only reason to keep..."
