[CommonNavigator] Dependency on org.eclipse.ui.ide and others [message #464492]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the Common navigator with
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources plugin in my RCP app. I figure it
should depend on org.eclipse.core.resources. Instead, it depends on that
and others including org.eclipse.ui.ide,
org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed and
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor.

I guess the viewer has support for a default editor (the text editor)
and displaying its selection in the tabbed properties view, both of
which should be optional dependencies in my opinion. But the show
stopper for me is the dependency on the ide plugin, as it contributes
all sorts of stuff that I don't want and has a noticeable disk footprint
together with its own dependencies. I have no idea why it even depends
on that; some of us are not trying to build an IDE even though they use
the platform resources model.

So what I'm asking is, what's the dependency for and is it going to be
removed in future? The Common navigator seems a useful concept for RCP
apps too, and I look forward to use it given these problems are solved.

The unwanted (visible) stuff has been moved to a separate plug-in (see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=167893). This won't reduce
the footprint much though.
