Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-8012:
-----------------------------------------

I now set the dependency to the gwt sdk plugin to be optional. This allows existing installations not to break as soon as new sdk's get installed. On the other hand this does not solve the problem where new users try to install our facet and dont get a sdk plugin pulled when the gwt sdk version changes (and the sdk we depend on disappears from the google update site).

> nick, I thought about possibilities to remove the dependency to the gwt sdk bundle since our integration plugin gets uninstallable as soon as google releases a new version. We currently have no choice but to track their updates and release a new version.
> The basic problem is that google had the great idea to include the plugin version into the plugin name and that they remove old version from their update site.
> I currently don't see any viable solution (optional dependencies dont help for new versions; I cannot depend on packages instead of the bundle since their bundle does not export any package).
> Do you see any option that would allow us to trigger the installation of the gwt-sdk bundle when someone installs our integration plugin?
