How did all this go ?

Did we find a cleanish way ?

Since tycho and p2 don't allow that part during build time, I wrote a groovy script that does that during packaging : http://git.eclipse.org/c/m2e-wtp/org.eclipse.m2e.wtp.git/commit/?id=621585b55a31f1d8efcdee643ed7ae1bd0b406f4. Unfortunetaly, even though the script behaves properly, the effect on plugin update doesn't work as advertised. Pascal is looking into it.
