Konstantin Marmalyukov commented on JBDS-3263:
----------------------------------------------

Info about JBDS jar size(Standalone without EAP):
Alpha1 with included XulRunner: *509,370,869 bytes*
Locally built Alpha2 without XulRunner: *456,620,525 bytes*.

So what we can do according to [~dgisbert] feedback:
# a. MacOS - remove Visual/Source and Preview tab for xhtml/jsp files like Burr suggested at first
   b. Windows - leave evarything as it is
   c. Linux - Make HTML5 mode default. Modify dialog to ask user only at first opening xhtml/jsp file if he wants to have good JSF support and don't ask user again. If user wants - do a restart and switch to XulRunner mode, if not - either show error message on preview tab with link to preferences(as it implemented now) or see pt. a.
# Make Visual Editor for xhtml/jsp files available to download from central/update site, as [~dgolovin] suggested. This option will give us an actual amount of users which uses this feature, so we can decide is it ok to remove it or not.

For me both options are fine, but I cannot guarantee that there is enough time to do everything for Alpha2.
