Re: [tycho-dev] eclipse-feature packaging produces unneeded META-INF/...

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that'd be good (to change the default
for features) but some bundles are also of the "directory" style
... and if it's "not strictly needed" the default for all (4)
should be "false", or, perhaps, have a "default for the
default" so it only had to be specified/changed in parent pom, and
would change the behavior everywhere (unless, overridden). 

Thanks,

eclipse-feature packaging produces unneeded META-INF/... directory structure

I'm wondering if we should change the default to 

addMavenDescriptor=false

for features only as their archives are always extracted in the installation.
While this is a windows path length problem really, probably not worth
it causing any headaches (the maven descriptor is not strictly needed),
 so just change the default value.

Thoughts?
