[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3071) JBDS Installer shouldn't contain source features/plugins

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3071?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12980740#comment-12980740 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3071:
----------------------------------

Actually, Central/EA sites do NOT contain jst.jsdt, but EA does include:
* Arquillian (and Sapphire)
* AngularJS (and Tern)
* VJET (and Jetty)

jst.jsdt is currently only in JBT afaict. So this too is an improvement.

New PR to remove things that were in the JBDS update site but which are not included in the installer:

https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/pull/201

Removed items include:

* org.jboss.tools.vpe.cordovasim.feature (and source)
* org.jboss.tools.maven.jbosspackaging.feature (and source)
* org.jboss.tools.common.mylyn.feature (and source)

> 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.
