I discovered last week that Eclipse Marketplace (available via Help > Eclipse Marketplace) is *super easy* to submit thus I
submitted JBoss Tools 3.2.x (marked as beta) to it:
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/jboss-tools-1
On that submission we have to give at least one feature to install to make it easy to install from a "plain" eclipse.
This again give us a problem since including *everything* from jboss tools will for a JEE user grab a non-significant
set of dependencies (i.e. Teeid's UML, Maven tooling m2eclipse and TPTP requires tptp etc.)
Thus for this "first time" I only included the features I know should be able to install on Eclipse JEE and just get
dependencies from our site and I added a comment in the description that to get the "extras" use the updatesite directly.
Suggestion on how we handle this problem of "large bundles" welcome.
Should we simply create a "Web" and "SOA" bundling feature which might have overlap ? (i.e. both will need our AS integration)
And if users insttall such - will they be able to install both without conflicts ?
