JGit is not a manifest-first build anymore. Shawn converted it to be a normal Maven build which probably makes the most sense because JGit as an artifact is consumed by other projects. As a maven-bundle-plugin project the manifest is generated. Though I think creating a BND file which represents the final manifest would be better because then you don't have the to the JAR scanning in order to create the manifest. A BND file is honestly nicer to look at then manifest. What this will allow us to do is create a non-expensive way to have JGit and EGit in the Eclipse workspace without having to constantly generate the manifest in the pom-first JGit project. We just have to settle on the approach as the JGit build the way it is does not make it work well with PDE or Tycho. Pick your poison we'll adjust Maven and Tycho.

Ideally we just want to import one of JGit or EGit, or both and it should all work. This is what we had in mind.
