[jbosstools-dev] Better place for JBoss Tools mylyn connections.

[Denis Golovin]

That's right, if there is no x-installation:=greedy  in optional 
dependency it is not going to be installed by default and user need to 
install it explicitly.
So for usage we have to make it greedy to be installed, but for JIRA 
connector we don't.

I was thinking about new Support component or at least category in JBT 
Update site.
WDYT?
