[jbosstools-dev] Funkyness with .target using google adt site

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

fyi, I solved the cause of this - worst is I already knew it ;)

Root cause: google eclipse site are old style updatesites, not p2.

multiple builds fine because the mirroring works (it mirrors the updatesite with its flaws)

The generated site contains the adt bundles, but not the right metadata.

it is only when you actually try and use the adt plugins that you get an error
saying they cannot be found - but as far as .targt, repo content etc. goes
everything looks fine.

End result: at eclipsecon with Jan and Tobias from SAP we got a bug open and 
soon fix to get tycho to report warnings for this target file situation so 
others won't have to second-guess p2/tycho behavior.
