Chris Navarro noticed today that the PTP Parallel Package contains some 
pieces of JDT, but not all of it.  For example, you can create a Java 
project and switch to the Java perspective, but there is no Java 
compiler and lots of things are broken when you try to edit a Java file.

As best I can tell, the problem is that 
org.eclipse.linuxtools.changelog.parsers.java has a dependency on 
jdt.core and jdt.ui, so these plug-ins are included in the EPP package, 
but the rest of JDT is not.

Arguably, it's a bug for there to be a plug-in dependency without a 
corresponding feature dependency.  But if Linux Tools adds that feature 
dependency, the Parallel Package will include all of JDT, which I think 
we don't want.

So... I'll leave it to Beth or whoever to figure out what to do with 
this... I'm not sure which needs to change: the EPP package or Linux 
Tools... so I haven't opened any bug reports...
