Eclipse minimal configuration for plug-in deployment

I am developing eclipse plug-in right now. Default eclipse download contains a lot of plug-ins which my plug-in doesn't require. It causes eclipse folder to have a larger size then it is needed.

So I 开发者_如何转开发wonder if there are any ways to create such minimal eclipse configuration, so it will be able to load my plug-in and be free of not require plug-ins? Are there any ways to do it automatically?

Of course. This "minimal base" is called Eclipse RCP (Rich Client Platform).

Let me redirect you to Vogella's tutorials on RCP - there you can read how to create and deploy RCP applications.
