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

It seems this is all good differences, because all those items is not required for installation and are not installed by current original installer.

Potential issue if jst.jsdt and tern features are part of JBDS p2 repository, aren't they?

> 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.
