So the basic JBDS installer is 70MB fatter. From my understanding it's because we now ship a *huge* forge2 runtime (50MB), Tern, the JVM Monitor and probably some other minor stuff.

Fair enough. But do we *really* need to add all the source features/plugins to the installer? *If* we're legally bound to provide sources for JBoss plugins, couldn't we provide them via an other way? (p2 only).

I reckon we could save ~37 MB by not shipping sources in the installer. I know storage is cheap and d/l speeds are faster but that's not an excuse.
