[wtp-releng] Including the o.e.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.ui plug-in to WTP p2 repository

Hi!

In order to make WST free of any dependencies to JDT we've excluded o.e.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.ui plug-in (as the only plug-in that depends in JDT) from JSDT-feature (See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=410982 - o.e.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.ui has dependencies to JDT).

This change, however, moved Rhino Debug UI plug-in completely out of WTP repository. So, the clients that need to launch/debug their JavaScripts using Rhino have lost such a feature. So, we're looking for a solution on how to provide users with the possibility to install Rhino Debug UI plug-in from WTP or other repo.

I've opened Bug #434664 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=434664 - o.e.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.ui should be added to JBDS Site) and provided a patch in order to include Rhino Debug UI plug-in into JBDS Update Site (as an optional plug-in) - and I need this fix to be reviewed with WTP Releng team.

Also, I'm not sure that adding the plug-in into JBDS Site will solve the problem of availability of the plug-in for WTP users, so I'd like to ask WTP Releng team on what I (we) should do in order to provide the users with the possibility to install o.e.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.ui plug-in?

I'd like to think that removing the plug-in (because of its dependency to JDT) from JSDT Feature is the only timely solution, and me (or some other contributor) will be able to solve JDT-dependency problem for this plug-in. But this unlikely to happen for WTP 3.6, so, IMHO, we have to make Rhino Debug UI plug-in available somehow from outside of WST for WTP 3.6.

Thanks in advance,
Victor Rubezhny
