Am I the only one that still do not understand what are these jdt.ls plugins for? And who are the 3rd party that creates those plugins?

Microsoft, and Pivotal, for example.

You are not the only one.

Happy to hear that "total IDE extensibility at any cost" policy begins to be questioned

sorry Gennady, but I must object to this statement: Extensibility by third parties is one of the strategic goals of Che 7. As I've said at the F2F, IMO the plugin marketplace is the biggest hole we have in our Che 7 story right now.

I fear that we're slipping back into a mentality of "we make something and they consume it". That's not what excited me about Che 7 a year ago. Call me lazy, but I would much rather have other people work hard to bring value to the Che platform than doing it myself ;-) An ecosystem will beat a vendor anytime, all other things being equal.
