Hi Gunnar,

>From a Mylyn perspective, I don't think anything needs to be cleared up in the UI or that the start-up time needs to be improved. It's normal that you get extra UI elements and that the plug-in needs to be loaded. But if almost no one uses it then I thought maybe it shouldn't be in the package by default. It would still be superfluous UI elements and loading time, even if just a little.

So far, I get the impression that people use the Tasks feature but not the Context (Task-focused) feature, so maybe that's one way to go.

BTW, I did look into the start-up time years ago and found that org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui was a bit longer to start but I'm not sure it's worth looking into, though.

Marc,

I have to admit I'm biased, but I would love to see a list of things that would be cleared up in the UI. Also how much the start-up time improvement have you measured on today's hardware? I'm interested in both because that's also valuable feedback for Mylyn as a project as it might indicate room for further improvements.

I use the task list feature a lot. I don't see removing this will clear up anything in the UI. I don't use the Mylyn context at all. However, the context functionality is separate and can be excluded from packages. I recall that this might add additional icons to some views.

-Gunnar
