Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2006-05-18 08:29:50 EDT 
Eclipse startup performance suffers as lots of plugins are registered.
Moreover, it gets confusing for developers when too many plugins are dealing with closely related things.

Given that the subsystems (files,shells) as well as the connectorservice for a given connection type are often closely tied together, there is no benefit in deferred plugin loading for the various subsystems. It seems to make sense to put these into a single plugin and rather make a separation of UI vs. non-UI parts only:

org.eclipse.rse.services.ssh    -- non-UI services for ssh
                                   including non-UI connectorservice
org.eclipse.rse.ui.ssh          -- UI parts: subsystems files
                                   and shell, and the UI part 
                                   of the onnectorservice

Dave McKnight commented on this in Bug 138337 Comment 8.
Any thoughts on negative implications of this approach?

Marking as [api] and LATER - to be addressed after 1.0.
Comment 2 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2006-11-10 18:06:08 EST 
Need to investigate - Implementation not planned yet.
