Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-12815:
------------------------------------
Hey, if we migrate this to a new project, https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-locus, and fix the namespaces such that s/org.jbosstools/org.jboss.tools/g, do we need all the 1:1 feature wrappers?
* We can add plugins to our TP (features are not needed).
* We can have our plugins depend on locus plugins, and be installed to an update site, then to a user's Eclipse.
* We can have our features include or depend on locus plugins, and be installed to an update site, then to a user's Eclipse.
* We only need features IFF there's a use case for a user to be installing Mockito or another Locus component *DIRECTLY*, via p2 Install, or JBoss Central.
So, is there a reason to have org.jboss.tools.locus.*.feature features?
Or do we perhaps only need an org.jboss.tools.locus.feature, which contains all the plugins in a single feature, like the way Eclipse Orbit works? We can then look at publishing all the individual plugins to an update site w/o the need for feature wrappers.

> Since all JBoss Eclipse-based project probably share some needs for usual libraries, we should create a JBoss Tools Orbit project in which one we would provide those 3rd-party dependencies packaged as OSGi Bundle in a p2 repository.
> In a first time, we could simply create some OSGi "wrappers" around those jars.
