----------------------------------
Did a quick test to see if we could simply exclude the IUs from the installer jar...

diff --git a/installer/pom.xml b/installer/pom.xml

... and YES, that works... until someone tries to install the source features that are
listed in the installer jar (but which don't exist). For this to work we'd need to
regen the metadata.
Therefore a better solution is probably to build an actual update site w/ Tycho which
excludes source features, and another which includes them (for use in the update site).
Might even be able to transform one category.xml into another so we don't have to
maintain two nearly-identical copies of the same file.
JBDS Installer shouldn't contain source features/plugins

So the basic JBDS installer is 70MB fatter. From my understanding it's because we now
ship a *huge* forge2 runtime (50MB), Tern, the JVM Monitor and probably some other minor
stuff.
Fair enough. But do we *really* need to add all the source features/plugins to the
installer? *If* we're legally bound to provide sources for JBoss plugins, couldn't
we provide them via an other way? (p2 only).
I reckon we could save ~37 MB by not shipping sources in the installer. I know storage is
cheap and d/l speeds are faster but that's not an excuse.
