Description

The Tycho based build currently uses a 'feature' based product, and all Eclipse features/plugins are the original (not stripped down). The result is that in the Studio product the plugins add lot of menu items (Team, Debug, etc.). We should try to reduce the amount of plugins if possible. If needed we may consider to remove menu items.

It is possible to hide UI elements provided by other plugins, see http://codeandme.blogspot.de/2011/09/hiding-ui-elements-in-rcp.html and http://blog.vogella.com/2009/07/13/eclipse-activities/.
