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. Johannes
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. Johannes [1] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/java-devel/2013-February/004614.html
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.
