The results obtained by calculating bound states of eta mesons and nuclei by using a squarewell optical potential are compared with their counterparts based on the use of an optical potential in the Woods-Saxon form. For any reasonable choice of range for a potential that has a sharp boundary, the results for the case of a diffuse boundary demonstrate the need for a greater baryon charge in order that an eta meson form a bound state with nuclei. The dependence of the probability for the formation of etamesonic nuclei on the diffuseness parameter of the optical potential involving the Woods-Saxon radial dependence is revealed.
