[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16574?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12959315#comment-12959315 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-16574:
------------------------------------

[~mickael_istria] Product needs Central because Central includes TestNG. product/installer/pom.xml needs TestNG because installer pre-installs TestNG. Therefore Product needs Central.

In future, as we move more stuff out of Core and into Central, this dependency of Product on Central will only increase.

Instead of <includes> why not use <requires> ?

Includes are bad, as they're too restrictive: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431954
Requires are good, as you can set acceptable ranges: http://divby0.blogspot.ca/2011/07/manifestmf-and-featurexml-versioning.html
