Dev image quay.io/eclipse/che-java11-maven:7.16.0 does not contain any terminal editors

See original GitHub issue

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

The image used for java-maven workspaces (quay.io/eclipse/che-java11-maven:7.16.0) does not contain any terminal-based editors (e.g. vi, vim, nano, etc.). This makes it impossible to write git commit messages in the terminal, or to do an interactive rebase, or anything that depends on an editor.

Describe the solution you’d like

Install at least nano/vi in the container

Additional info

Adding vim and nano to the quay.io/eclipse/che-java11-maven:7.16.0 image increases the size by 36MB

The interim solution of installing vim + nano in all dev containers has been merged. When we have a more permanent solution we can revert this, but for now this will do nicely. Thanks @amisevsk for putting it together!

@ericwill I know you’re generally not a fan of cobbled-together nonsense, but I threw together a proof-of-concept PR https://github.com/eclipse/che-devfile-registry/pull/271
