Hi, Max
 
> The problem is that common isn't just common.
 
I suggest to split common. "True" common will contain only
 
org.jboss.tools.common
org.jboss.tools.common.model
org.jboss.tools.common.model.ui
org.jboss.tools.common.text.xml
part of org.jboss.tools.common.text.ext
 
Other plugins may be moved to org.jboss.tools.jst...
 
Or, may we physically leave plugins where they are, but for build and installation purposes apply this logic separation 'virtually' by defining other set of features?
 
Next, I will clean common.model from unnecessary references using new extension points.
 
As to what we have now, installing Hibernate Tools + common will not add jsf, jsp, etc editors; and though common includes some excessive knowledge of jsp, jsf, struts, it does not add any functionality.

In my opinion that just means implementing new editor from scratch. In doing so, you will develop components that you may wish to put to common. We have many xml editors, there ui has a lot in common, so why not share new approaches between them? And that is exactly what XModel framework does. Plugins .hibernate.xml and .hibernate.xml.ui include just few lines of code customizing components developed in common. Why 'integrating editor into Hibernate Tools' should mean separating it from common?

The problem is that common isn't just common. It includes ton's of jsf, xhtml, jsp and even struts references. That is what we need separated before I'm ok having Hibernate tools feature depend on it.

i.e. if I *only* install Hibernate tools feature it should *not* result in other additional editors such as jsf, jsp, xhtml etc. to be installed.

That were the case last time I tried it - if that has changed we should look at it again.
