With p2 being more omnipresent and requesting unique content for an identity / version tuple, it would be good if PDE could help users in not getting burnt by stable version over multiple export by always adding the .qualifier in any new bundle being created.

Benjamin, didn't you have a patch for this already ;)?

We have a couple bugs around this topic open. I'm all for PDE enforcing this, at least from the new project wizard as a default.

I had, yes, see bug 215088.

So you changed your mind, Chris ;) In bug 215088 you proposed to add the "add qualifier" functionality to the Organize Manifest wizard. IMHO, we should also have the ability to add .qualifier to freshly created bundles.
I would be in favor of enhancing the patch of bug 215088 comment 3 to add a dialog setting in the new bundle wizard in the form of a toggle button just after the bundle ID text field, that would add/remove ".qualifier" at the end of the string when toggled/untoggled. The trickiest part would be to find a nice icon to represent the thing... (because we don't wan't a button with a text as long as "Toggle qualifier"...)
