egit is not preinstalled if you start from the Eclipse Platform Binary, but selecting the whole JBT "Abridged" category will cause it to be installed. That's why I was +0 on removing the connector from Central. Doesn't cause any problems. Does provide a quick way for people to install EGit if they don't already have it in Eclipse. *shrug*

Your comments on the PR suggested bumping this change to CR1, but then you merged it anyway. As such I've reset the JIRA title to its previous state to reflect what actually happened here.

> 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
