Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-4257:
----------------------------------

OK, I understand. You want the RPM to not "provide" the plugins that are contained in the RPM, including not providing all the stuff from jbosstools, the devstudio branding plugins, and all the 3rd party stuff from Eclipse Orbit which is needed for the jbosstools/devstudio plugins and which are not available from other rh-eclipse46-* packages.

How would I do that? Can you suggest a PR for this spec file?

https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/blob/master/rpm/devstudio.spec.template

Also, you'll notice that I removed a lot of the features/plugins from the com.jboss.devstudio.core.rpm.feature so it installs considerably less as part of the RPM, in order to de-dupe items already installed by upstream rh-eclipse46-* rpms.

https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/commit/63b136ad12e6db69abedb81046434c1c4fe117f1
https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/commit/1d53969a727011dc614684f8d77e364383869393
https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/commit/fad4c74a963079aa5957617adccea6d11b0495fb

Therefore when I run `rpm -q --provides -p ./rh-eclipse46-devstudio-10.3-0.20170130.2225.el7.x86_64.rpm | wc -l` I now only get 513 plugins provided by the devstudio rpm.

> [~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 provides 4 packages, devstudio provides 539 packages.
