Removed deprecated AERI extension

[sbouchet]

Hi,

it seems AERI is not used anymore nor maintained. It causes some problems as it cannot start :
osgi> ss aeri
"Framework is launched."
id State Bundle
323 STARTING org.eclipse.epp.logging.aeri.core_2.0.7.v20180504-0806
324 INSTALLED org.eclipse.epp.logging.aeri.ide_2.0.7.v20180504-0806
osgi> start 324
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.eclipse.epp.logging.aeri.ide [324]
Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.apache.lucene.document; version="[7.1.0,8.0.0)"

So i suggest to simply remove it from reddeer. Is it still used here?

i got confirmation in cross-project list that AERI is officially decommissioned: https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg17513.html

@sbouchet Thanks for reporting this, we do not have "hard" dependency on aeri packages, we rather have it optional. Although there is some implementation dedicated for aeri and we should defniintely remove it, but that's api change and we will need to do it while doing 3.0.0 version.

@odockal : ok ! is this major update planned? do I need to make another PR for it?

[odockal]

@sbouchet Not really.. I was thinking of making one due to the fact we got some outdated stuff like aeri that we can get rid of. This could be an opportunity.

@sbouchet hm, "testPR" does not work under issues, obviously...
