Re: [epp-dev] Why does Java EE package include PDE ?

[Chuck Bridgham <cbridgha@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I know we do have dependencies on PDE
from Data Tools, and OSGI development tools, but I would also be careful
before consulting the community / tools adopters that use this package
as a starting point.
I agree with you the majority of users
won't be developing plugins, but PDE is a must for the remaining group.
    

It may be time to do some analysis of
size, and popularity of the many features that make up this package.

Thanks

According to the bug there is (was?) a demand to include
PDE in the package, but I don't know if this has changed in the meantime.
Chuck, any opinion on that?

Regards,
Markus

Hi,

I downloaded an Eclipse for JEE Luna M2 today, and was surprised to see
that the average Java EE developer gets his UI with many references to
PDE (import/new/run configurations/perspectives...), whereas it's most
likely something s/he would never use.
I also say that bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=330867
which states that PDE makes sense in JEE package. For now, I strongly disagree
with that. I tend to think that people who require PDE in the JEE package
are already advanced Eclipse users/developers and that they are not the
one who needs the more attention when doing packages.

Would there be any objection about removing PDE from the JEE package?
