Mustafa Musaji commented on JBDS-2874:
--------------------------------------

I don't think this is a must-have feature and QE discussion around testing or any concerns they have should be addressed before we agree to include it for 8.0.0. From a support perspective it adds complication but that's not to say it's not useful for customers and we shouldn't support it. However, if it there's a risk it could break or cause issues with our tools (due to incompatibility issues a year from now) then we should address them now.

TL;DR: Let's ask QE and get their thoughts on it.

> I've found a way to make it possible to update JBDS contents (eg., the Core Features) without having to update the product too. This makes the JBDS-in-Eclipse and JBDS-via-installer experience the same in terms of being able to update piecemeal - you can now update Eclipse / product OR the JBDS features, or both. 
> Do we want this?
