The idea here is to fixate the version of plugins and features we want to fixate in the
site. It is possible to write a site.xml with a given version of a feature (not 0.0.0 or
x.y.z.qualifier, but 3.1.0.v20120316) and also to write feature.xml with explicit versions
of plugins.
Then Tycho does not resolve a feature range or a wildcard version, it simply takes the
one that is defined in the site.xml or feature.xml.
That is fine for generating the updatesite - but this does not control the resolution of
features/plugins when actually building with tycho.
