[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Minimal java eclipse for low RAM computers

["Chris Laffra" <Chris_Laffra@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you do not use the features, the platform won't open the jars, and load
no classes from it.
This is the whole idea about the plugin architecture in Eclipse.
There is no need for manually removing jars.
