Description GianMaria Romanato CLA 2016-02-29 16:23:05 EST 
The kernel-tools repository is currently built using ivy.

The result is a JAR which is manually committed into 
org.eclipse.virgo.ide.manigest.core as an embedded JAR.

An alternative approach could be:
- convert kernel-tools into a PDE plug-in project
- add it to the virgo tools Eclipse feature (org.eclipse.virgo.ide.feature)
- build kernel-tools using maven/tycho
- change o.e.v.i.manifest.core to depend from the plug-in instead of embedding
  the JAR
