[jbosstools-dev] Dependency Question

[Nick Boldt]

If all you need's the icon, then copy it over (or use a different one). 
Sure, duplicate file proliferation is bad, but so is "I can't build my 
project because it depends on something else which I don't control."

Smaller sandboxes (and requirements chains) == more agile development.

IMHO, icons for JBDS ought to live in a JBDS branding/product plugin, 
such as com.jboss.jbds.product[1].
