Hi,

Tycho doesn't support FreeBSD operating system as of now. For instance, built artifacts contains "unknown" in file name instead of "freebsd". Tycho is used by many Eclipse projects, so to allow build of Eclipse plugins on FreeBSD machines the appropriate support is required. Eclipse is unofficially available on FreeBSD since 2005 via ports: https://www.freshports.org/java/eclipse

Please review attached patch. I will appreciate your comments. 

Thanks!

The documentation about Eclipse's Gerrit is really nice, so it was easy to do!

Best regards!
