Description Frank Appel

The dependency of the workbench to databinding is a design flaw inherited from RCP. There's no usage of databinding in the workbench itself. The only reason this dependency exists for is the initialization of the default realm. So even if no databinding is used all databinding bundles are activated.

Solved this problem by using reflection for databinding initialization and setting the dependencies to optional. So if databinding is there the default realm will be retrieved otherwise the workbench spins the UI loop without realm. This may not be the most sophisticated approach, but it should allow that existing apps run without any changes.
