There is a "core" part itself consisting of non-UI and UI plugins, and then 
several middleware specific "features" (in the Eclipse sense) which we 
also devide in UI/non-UI where it makes sense.

So for having GLite support without UI you would need something like 
(with "eu.geclipse." as prefix everywhere)
   .core.reporting
   .core
   .core.filesystem
   .core.jobs
   .info
   .jsdl.model
   .jsdl
   .globus
   .efs.gridftp / .srm for data management
   .glite
   .glite.info
   .voms

and the libs org.globus, org.bouncycastle, org.glite . But don't take the 
list up to the word... ;-) And yes, they have dependencies on the Eclipse 
plugins. But not much either, a few org.eclipse.core* plogins, a couple of 
EMF plugins and then some extra libs (log4j, wsdl, ...)

Cheers, Ariel
