Description Juergen Kindler

When exporting multiple features as installable features to a zip file the generation metadata fails when this is done from the Eclipse IDE.

Only metadata for one feature is generated in the zip file.

Metadata generation works when the destination is a directory.

It looks like the feature export gets confused by the multiple parameters that it gets from the PDE UI.

This probably belongs in UI but I will keep it here for now.
On export of multiple features, PDE/UI actually calls us on each feature seperately and the results are all appended into the same archive. 

Here, the last feature to go generates it own content.xml/artifacts.xml, which would then overwrite the previous feature's metadata in the archive.

Work arounds are export to a directory, or export a single feature that includes all the other features you are interested in.

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
