Description Adam Peller

There are a number of UI plugin dependencies in the standard Orion release, including swt, eclipse.ui, e4.ui...  pulls in stuff like libcairo.  We use Orion in Maqetta and it is totally headless, so we would like to avoid the extra baggage, also the need to create platform-dependent builds.  The UI code pulls in native libraries like libcairo which are, of course, platform-dependent.  On the Mac, that's an additional 9M, but presumably there's even more common code that's UI-related that we're not using.

Would it be possible to structure the build such that we could easily pull in Orion without the UI code?  Either by breaking the UI dependencies out into separate, optional plugins or some other means?
