[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-19741) jbosstools-javaee contains 141M of duplicate jars in its tests' projects and resources - can we minimize this?

Alexey Kazakov commented on JBIDE-19741:
----------------------------------------

We definitely can minimize this.
The majority of these jars are in very old tests and we need to convert these tests to use maven for downloading the jars where it's possible.
Some of these jars are from dead code/plugins and we can remove them.
The rest is small custom jars which we need to for JAR handling testing. For example in CDI we pack some specific custom CDI beans in a JAR to make sure CDI tools load/handle them properly. But such jars are very small and it's not an issue.

> There are 141M of binaries in the jbosstools-javaee source tree.
> See attached files for details. Would it be possible to pull these jars from Maven instead of having as many as *19* copies of the same jar in the source repo?
