Actually, I think the DOM AST view (which is part of the tests plugin) is wonderful and would vote for moving that out of the testing plugin, it doesn't hurt users
who don't bring up that view.
But, that's more work :)

+1 for moving testing plugins to a separate category with clear description so users won't be temped to install it "in case we may need it later". It would be good to indicate that it is internal and useless for the users. Something like category "CDT Self Testing QA Tools" and feature "CDT Extensions for Internal QA Testing".

Is it too late to move the update site plugins around before the Galileo SR1?
(probably.)
Oh well I have been meaning to say..

The org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.tests plugin, in amongst all the others on the update site, often gets chosen by
users, then they have that extra page in the new project wizard and are confused.
Could we perhaps have a third category e.g. "Developer tools" or "testing tools" or something?
I would like an easy "select everything" choice for users who want all the user-friendly plugins.
Is this possible?

In trying to write a simple CDT installation scenario, for users who e.g. also want UPC (not in the default distribution),
i always seem to have to give a detailed description of what to include/exclude.
It should be simpler!
