[jwt-dev] makeing dependencies optional

Hi Marc, Yoann,

playing around a lot with Eclipse and JWT (and several other Eclipse-based products) recently I've discovered that it might not in all cases be desirable to force users to install very heavyweight components such as GMF that themselves drag along many dependencies, especially since we emphasize the customisability aspect of our platform. Therefore, I would propose to mark the GMF dependencies (and in the future maybe other components such as ATL/JDT?) in jwt-we (shown below) as optional, so that the user can choose whether to install the product and enjoy a fully featured solution or to work with a restricted feature set but have a more light-weight platform. What do you think?

Regards,
Chris
