Bug 109094

Description Francois Granade 2005-09-08 15:23:05 EDT

When adding plugins to a feature in the feature manifest editor, it is added
with the attributes with 'download-size="0"' and 'install-size="0"'. It should
either *not* be set, or set to the right sizes.

The spec
(http://help.eclipse.org/help30/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/feature_manifest.html)

is clear that there's a difference between those attributes not being present,
and them set to zero.

Since the editor puts the values to zero by default, *pretty much all* the
features that people release (whether Eclipse.org or other providers) have those
values.

This basically makes those values meaningless: It is not possible (in the Update
manager, for example) to rely on those values as "hint for download size" since
they are incorrect by default. Practically, those values are not used anywhere.

I think that, at least, we should remove the attribute being set by default in
the feature manifest editor ASAP: people would then start releasing features
without this zero value, and that later we could add the functionality,
correctly implemented, in the Update Manager at the same time as in the feature
editor.
