[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17733?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12981867#comment-12981867 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-17733:
---------------------------------------------

Please remember that connectors in central has two purposes:

1) provide UI to install components from

2) give id's we can refer to from examples to install - id's that are *NOT* bound to specific feature names, but more to a set of relevant features/plugins to install when creating a project (like browserim,cordovasim, hybrid tools and jst feature for the mobile tools). This is what is used to tell the user if he has the plugins installed or not in the first page of the example wizards.

Also not everyone installs everything in jbosstools. thus there isn't really anything "pre-installed" except maybe egit these days.

> Here is a list of items that should probably be removed from Central catalog:
> *EGit*: Egit is already included in all Eclipse packages we target (JEE, Standard, PDE, if not all) and is included in JBDS product definition. It is also a dependency of OpenShift tooling so that anything that has OpenShift tools installed is guaranteed to have EGit installed.
> So we should remove EGit from our Central discovery catalogs.
> *jst.server* is already installed in JBDS, so there is no point in having it on JBDS Central
