      Yes, this is the reason. Some parts of the Java world
        hadn't heard about proper tar archives (I remember that there is
        still an open feature request for ant somewhere...) and the
        Tycho developers were kind enough to fix this. But the fix was
        too late for the Juno release, or to be more precise, it was too
        risky for me to change the working build that late in the
        release cycle. Markus On 12 Dec 2014 22:18, "David M Williams"

          Not sure if there were additional
            reasons,
            but know that was one of them.

 Hi,
 
 In an attempt to add the creation of a debian package for
              the CPP
 packages [1], I'm perusing through the EPP poms and I
              notice that the
 product archives are created by a shell script
              (createArchives.sh).
 Could someone shed some light on why this is being used
              instead of tycho
 built-in capability to package the products?
 
 Thx
 
 Pascal
