Description Sebastian Schmidt CLA 2011-11-07 05:05:13 EST 
The org.eclipse.rtp.core.model bundle requires com.google.gson libraries. 

Anyway, this bundle is used by external packages because it is required in order to take advantage of IRTPService API (i. e. it includes SourceVersion, Feature, and other classes used by this API). 

Thus, external packages that only need to use the P2 abstraction layer, are required to include com.google.gson.

We might move this dependency to an additional bundle that encapsulates the JSON-based APIs and isn't required by core packages.

This is already fixed.
