JDT independent DSL [message #691039]

I have developed an application made of a DSL, an interpreter and a help system.

I wanted to deploy it as a RCP. Using the discussions in this forum as well as in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336217 I was able to produce a Java independent RCP. No Java section in the "New" menu !

Now I'd like to do the same when deploying my application as an add-on to an existing Eclipse installation. I created a feauture with my plugins and an update site with that feature. I installed a bare Eclipse platform (eclipse-platform-3.7-win32.zip) and then used "Add new software" to install my feature. Eclipse was able to pull all other required bits, starting with XText, but also JDT, and a Java section in the "New" menu.

Is there a way to avoid JDT being included ?

Thanks

MS

This is because "optional" is handled as "greedy" when performing an
install - if it is there it will be installed.

There is a long discussion about this related to this regarding if this
is a p2 issue, or if it should be handled when publishing. (Don't have a
reference to that discussion handy though...)

As a matter of fact, I can get an install without JDT as follows:

- I add to my update site one or more features that include all required plug-ins that are not in the bare Platform

- I disable the all Eclipse update sites except the Mads one

- I install ...
