1. Download the latest eclipse classic
2. Start it
3. Try to install new software using the marketplace client
IS: No marketplace client action in the help menu is available
SHOULD: Marketplace client should be part of classic by default

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that still a lot of people use and download the classic build. I think making the marketplace client available to them per default would make sense?

Workaround is to use the helios update site to install the marketplace client, which works fine.

We have taken the position that the Classic package is the 'pure' SDK created by the Platform project.  Therefore, we don't add anything into that package not included by the Platform team.  

I agree it would be useful to people that download the Classic package but they would need to download another package or use the Helios repo.

I understand, but as a normal user I could easily mistake the marketplace client as a platform feature, and hence it could be confusing, that it is not included in the platform.

But I can life with the "workaround".
