is that your comment or some decision on Eclipse.org side ?
This is my comment.
so i'm a bit puzzled...if apache.jasper is part of eclipse release train why do we even need to chase it on orbit ?
why is this dependency in here in the first place ?
if not part of release train there should be a reason..
Actually, it's not part of the Eclipse release train. Nothing on the release train depends on it.
I don't know why it used to be in our target definition, and I imagine that it might have been there for some reason in the past, and that it has become useless.

Let's give a few days (until Friday) for developers to raise their hand if they actually need it, if not, let's remove it; and in case something is actually failing after that, we'll re-add jasper and its family, and document on the target files why it needs to be here.
