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

So you're suggesting that the rh-eclipse47-devstudio rpm should depend on smaller packages than rh-eclipse47-base, such as eclipse-platform, eclipse-pde, eclipse-jdt, felix-scr and osgi? 

https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/blob/master/rpm/devstudio.spec.template#L22

Would that be better? If so, I'm happy to make that change.

> [~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.
