[eclipse-dev] Combo packages proposal 
With tools such as GEF and EMF being used by more and more people and projects, I propose that combination packages (which might be implemented as nested features) that are bigger than the SDK be created and made available for download. This will make it easier for users to identify, download, and install the software they need in one step instead of many steps. Ideally the schedule would be the same as the SDK.

For example this combination would be helpful:

    Platform SDK
    Example plug-ins
    FTP and WebDAV
    GEF
    EMF
    XSD
    VEP
    WebTools (when available)

Trying to match up version numbers for compatible features is a large and growing problem, and combo packages would help fix that. Instead of 8 downloads, the user would just have one.
