Denis Golovin commented on JBDS-3071:
-------------------------------------

Nick, PR you submitted would build just p2repo with features without product metadata and cannot be used in installer.

To have it working we *ether* need to build two update sites:
1. One is .product based without source features
2. Second is category.xml based with source features only

(1) can be consumed in installed. Then we ether should publish two zips(means more files to download) or combine them into composite repository zip file with the same name we have now.

*or* build two products one w/o sources to use in installer an another one w/ sources to use as update site

*or* use something like https://github.com/dgolovin/jbdevstudio-product/blob/nosrcinstaller/installer/category.xml (see bundle directive), but that requires build step by step in several maven runs. I.e. build product site first. Then use it in installer build and create local p2repo for installer with jbds probuct package and testng. I tested this locally, it works but not really a god way to do builds, because it requires several maven executions.

> 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.
