[tycho-user] optional Dependencies

[jonathan.x.buck@xxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I am building my product successfully using the tycho-p2-director-plugin
however the final zip contains a number of optional transitive plugins
which is an issue..  For example my final product built via tycho includes
the org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin which is adding all kinds of new wizards,
views, preference pages to my application which I don't want or need and
tracking this down I understand why it is getting included however the
plugin which is causing it to be resolved and added lists the plugin as
optional so I would rather not included it if possible...

Now I know I could exclude all of those additional items by adding in an
activity definition however it doesn't feel right or clean and also adds
bloat to the overall deliverable...

So, my question would be is there any way to tell tycho to ignore optional
dependencies or are there any other strategies I could follow that would
allow me to exclude or control explicitly which plugins are added to my
product.

Regards...
