[News.eclipse.technology.packaging] Strawman package proposal for Java Developer

Java Developer

    * Platform
    * JDT
    * Visual Editor (Swing only)
    * Mylar
    * XML Editor

No source code is required with this configuration.

Minimal prerequisites need to be included. If a plug-in is not required by any of the above-listed components, it doesn't need to be included.

The configuration should specify reasonable "-Xmx" and "-XX:MaxPermSize" values.

I'm not sure if the XML editor inclusion makes sense, or how much of the web tools needs to be included to make the XML editor work.

At the end of the day, I am becoming less and less convinced that a Java Developer package is really needed if there is a "Java Enterprise Developer" package available.

I'm content with the Visual Editor only including Swing support in this package. To be honest, the main motivation is that last time I checked, including SWT support required the PDE be included.
