Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-25736:
------------------------------------

[~dgolovin] Thanks, yes. That's why both Jeff and I have asked [~rpdavis] to comment here with his needs/wants and which projects he feels we should deprecate now and remove later.

I'm hoping we make a decision in time for AM2 code freeze (by EOD Wednesday this week), so IF we remove the ancient/already-deprecated stuff (freemarker, arquillian) we can see if there's any community/customer blowback in response to the blog about the change. That way there's time to bring it back if necessary, but I suspect there won't be.

> This issue is to consider *deprecating* the following parts of JBoss Tools. Suggest we mark them deprecated in feature.properties, and add/update connectors in Central to be similarly marked.
> * jbosstools-portlet
> * jbosstools-aerogear
> * jbosstools-browsersim
> * jbosstools-livereload
> * {color:red}-jbosstools-webservices-{color}
> * {color:red}-jbosstools-javaee-{color}
> * {color:red}-jbosstools-forge-{color}
> These projects could be *removed*, since they were deprecated some time ago:
> * jbosstools-freemarker
> * jbosstools-arquillian
> For supporting arguments, see this doc (RH only, sorry):
