    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4539?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13466462#comment-13466462 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-4539:
----------------------------------

Did some digging into the top 10 Central-based installs into jbosstools and devstudio.

Here's the summary:

{code:title=Top 10 Central installs (not including Integration Stack), Sep 1 2016 - Sep 1 2017, sorted by total # non-unique installs}
4568	org.jboss.tools.aerogear.hybrid	
4228	org.springframework.ide.eclipse.feature	
4044	angularjs-eclipse-feature	
2781	edu.umd.cs.findbugs.plugin.eclipse	
2603	net.sf.eclipsecs	
2423	m2e.wro4j.feature	
2372	com.android.ide.eclipse.adt	
2267	org.eclipse.egit.mylyn	
2231	org.tigris.subversion.subclipse	
1717	org.jboss.tools.maven.jbosspackaging.feature	{code}

To look at quarterly trends, see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aouMDBbTJbUtV9pFfpAHSHguSoSb0u97J1Yocxbs9oo/edit#gid=0 and compare the position of these connectors across different time periods. I don't see any significant gains/losses, despite the usual drop over the summer for ALL installs.

So... if the connector is NOT on the above list, we should probably not bother updating it. But if it IS we should keep it current to encourage people to use Central instead of Eclipse Marketplace, so we can continue to track these installs.

> It's been a while since we reviewed the contents of Central [1] to determine which connectors are being used or not. Perhaps it's time for an overhaul?
