Re: [eclipse-dev] Combo packages proposal
|
Please, oh God! please do so
I find it frustrating to have to download these subprojects separately
and have to read to see which version should I download for my eclipse
version.
I think I'd be a great help to these projects if they are more
available for end users.
Sorry, for the comment not being a developer, I just think this would be
great.

With tools such as GEF and EMF being used by more and more people and projects, I propose that combination packages (which might be implemented as nested features) that are bigger than the SDK be created and made available for download. This will make it easier for users to identify, download, and install the software they need in one step instead of many steps. Ideally the schedule would be the same as the SDK.
For example this combination would be helpful:
Platform SDK
Example plug-ins
FTP and WebDAV
GEF
EMF
XSD
VEP
WebTools (when available)
Trying to match up version numbers for compatible features is a large and growing problem, and combo packages would help fix that. Instead of 8 downloads, the user would just have one.
