Are you suggesting we build an update site from a .product file instead of from a category.xml?

In fact we do that... well, sort of. We build the update site from the category.xml AND the .product definition.

Here's one simple approach -- use a second category.xml file for building a sourceless site:

We might be able to simplify this a little, but for now this works.

> 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.
