Investigate size of installers

Opened this issue · 3 comments

The current installers have a far too big size(~210 MB - w/o the JRE bundled).

49% of the ZIP is ide related, 16% platform related and 35% thinking rock related (out of which 81% are external dependencies).

The official installers for TR-3.7.0 are much smaller, as can be seen in the download section, e.g. the linux version w/o JRE ~49MB.

This could be related: in Netbeans, Project Properties (right click on the project), Installers, Use pack200 compression is by default unchecked.

pack200 would make some difference in size, but it has been removed in the mean time (https://openjdk.org/jeps/367).

#57 already improved the state considerably. When tackling this ticket, we should ensure both the installer / size of installed files are ok and also the plugin-manager does not show unneeded plugins.
