Re: [p2-dev] Metadata generator

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

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
