Transaction Summary

Install  1 Package (+10 Dependent packages)

Total size: 57 M
Total download size: 11 M
Installed size: 70 M

No offense but this is quite overkill. The normal upstream package from sf.net only requires 1/10 of the size that gets pulled in by Fedora 18. I recall that I did not depend on eclipse platform when using freemind in Fedora 17.

The default freemind install is around 7.2 mb while this requires nearly 70 mb including a whole IDE (platform, architecture).

I was wondering why I needed eclipse at all (not to mention that you can't even use it in this condition to create some java projects - besides that I use netbeans). I initially thought this was an overall requirement for the sync-distribution. But this seems not to be the case and only there because the small java jar file named freemind.jar pulls in groovy pulls in eclipse-platform.

Can this be changed in one of the upcoming versions (... and I don't mean Fedora 19 here).

Thanks

Hi,

I was on vacation during the last days and will try to look into this issue in the coming days.

I think I identified the dependency chain and asked the other packagers if we could "break" this dep chain. [1]
I'll keep you updated if we make any progress.

Comment 3 Mikolaj Izdebski 2013-02-05 16:06:34 UTC

In Fedora 18 xbean requires whole Eclipse Platform instead of Eclipse Equinox. It was fixed in Fedora 19 in xbean-3.12-3:

* Mon Oct 22 2012 Mikolaj Izdebski <mizdebsk> - 3.12-3
- Replace eclipse-rcp requires with eclipse-equinox-osgi
- Reenable Equinox

I'll fix xbean package in Fedora 18.
