Lukáš Valach updated JBDS-4257:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
I noticed rh-eclipse46-devstudio is installed as dependenci when installing rh-eclipse46.  
!yum_install_rh-eclipse46.png|thumbnail!

[~vkadlcik] said that it is because rh-eclipse46-devstudio offers some package which rh-eclipse46 needs, so yum decides to use devstudio as library.

He said that the best practice for end-user application like rh-eclipse46-devstudio is to have less amount of stuff in "rpm -q --provides". Rh-eclipse46 providel 4 packages, devstudio provides 539 packages.
