This is to allow a user to install Teiid Designer plugins without needing to add the orbit repository as a separate update site in their Eclipse IDE.

As it stands, Teiid Designer plugins do not install in a virgin eclipse installation, using the JBT-IS update site, due to lacking access to the jackson plugins. The pull request fixes that -without displaying the contents of orbit to the user- but does insert orbit as an associative update site in the user's available update sites. So is there is another way around this?

>From Nick, we have had [https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1843], which adds the dependencies to the Designer update site. Is that going to be a preferred option, despite my misgivings (see my comment on that JIRA).

> Teiid Designer plugins have dependencies available in the JBT Orbit repository. However, this is not advertised as available when installing Designer plugins from JBT-IS hence installation fails unless orbit is added as an update site separately.
> Add orbit to list of associated site so that dependencies can be properly resolved.
