    Suggested things to migrate to Central / remove from JBT core:
*    Mylyn: required by Central, org.jboss.tools.common.mylyn
**    evaluate dependencies and trim out other org.eclipse.mylyn stuff from TP

*    Atlassian: required for JIRA integration
**    (Jira rest client may be requested in future: JBIDE-15630 )
**    required by org.jboss.tools.common.mylyn
**    https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13682?focusedCommentId=12761203&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12761203
**    many atlassian features already removed from 4.30.x TP: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-target-platforms/blob/4.30.x/jbosstools/multiple/jbosstools-multiple.target

*    GWT: required by org.jboss.tools.maven.gwt (about to be deprecated in their next major release - maybe September?) and o.j.t.gwt (deprecated in JBDS 8)
**    maven/gwt days are counted, we need to check with the Google Team, as they're working on a similar feature so maven/gwt will be archived eventually

*    BIRT: required by o.j.t.birt stuff
**    Same as Mylyn, keep only dependencies of our birt component. Other stuff we like to provide should go to central

*    http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/kepler/ lists a handful of "Additional Tools" from JBT we could consider building SEPARATELY from the core JBT/JBDS aggregates, then feeding that site into Central directly
**    This would expose some outlying content better (Aerogear, Arquillian, Birt, Eclipse CSS Themes for Central, Forge.ext (Forge 2), Maven.GWT, common.mylyn, vpe.cordovasim) o.j.t.gwt (deprecated))

Need to get feedback from [~burrsutter] [~maxandersen] on the idea of dropping this stuff from JBT and moving it entirely to Central as the single way to get it. Probably depends on JBIDE-16375 since we'd want things like Forge 2 to be CLEARLY marked as incubating if they're in Central.

> In order to trim some stuff out of our target-platform, we should:
> * Install JBDS from installer
> * Look at its content in plugins/ and features/  and compare it with content of the TP site.
> Everything that is in TP site but not in JBDS is probably worth being removed from TP.
