As I mentioned on that thread, which is rather long and meandering
(because of me), cross-projects is not likely to be representative of
the overall downstream community of application developers.
The bottom line is that the JSP support that is needed for a functioning
Help system will work if and only if you have org.eclipse.jdt.core *or
*org.eclipse.jdt.batch.compiler installed.
The former has these dependencies with team.core being optional greedy
so will tend to be installed too unless steps are taken to ensure it's
not visible:
While the latter is self-contained and has no additional dependencies:
The change that has been committed for 4.26 forces org.eclipse.jdt.core
to be installed rather than the smaller self-contained
org.eclipse.jdt.batch.compiler thereby forcing all RCP applications that
use Help to install core.filesystem, core.resource, text, and typically
team.core (and whatever those require) whether they want/need those or not.
There is no ideal out-of-the-box solution at this point, and I thank
Aleksandar for his effort on this front. That being said, I'm
personally *not convinced *that we should take away the choice for
downstream consumers, even if no one on cross projects cares nor is
affected...

Hey everyone,
In an effort to fix the help system working on Java 17+ (
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ua/issues/18 )
dependency on org.eclipse.jdt.core (which itself brings
org.eclipse.core.resources and etc.).
Please test your plugins and especially RCP applications against
latest I-build
(https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.html ) whether
this creates any issue for you so we can act prior to M3 release in a
week.
