Because the only (exported) package of the
org.eclipse.m2e.pde
is not considered public API (as for example stated in #440 (comment)) we should mark the package as such to make users aware of that fact.Otherwise downstream-adaptors could accidentally use the classes from that package and assume they are public API, unless they have searched in the depths of the m2e-github repo.
Since org.eclipse.m2e.pde has been released in this form already actually it is already public API, but since this happened not so long ago and adaptors are unlikely (or if it happened there is a high chance that they are still active and can adapt accordingly or complain), I propose to make an exception and mark this package as internal afterwards.
@laeubi, @mickaelistria what do you think?
