org.eclipse.jdt plugin has dependencies on UI plugins: org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets and org.eclipse.ui.intro

Is it possible to remove the dependencies or make the requirement optional?  Thanks.
Comment 1 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2008-04-30 02:58:40 EDT
org.eclipse.jdt is maintained by JDT/UI
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2008-04-30 03:04:35 EDT
This plug-in contains the JDT intro/welcome and hence needs to depend on those UI plug-ins.

Why do you need that plug-in at all and why would you need it to be independent of UI plug-ins?
Comment 3 Kenneth Cheung CLA 2008-04-30 14:35:42 EDT
After viewing the contain on the plugin I agree there is no way to remove those dependencies and the dependency on org.eclipse.jdt should be removed instead.  Thanks.
