It's also a pattern I've used elsewhere, even if we end up with multiple copies of dependencies and/or different IDE files.

It's not simply the consumption of the artifact after the fact. The project has to be amenable to development outside of Eclipse. For EGit it's not so much a concern because someone using IDEA is not likely to be very interested in EGit. But there are lots of people interested in JGit and Tycho is not going to work anywhere but Eclipse on an IDE level.
> Shawn mentioned that one major issue with Tycho for JGit was that it installed artifacts into the local maven repository which were not compatible with Maven 2 clients. That in itself seems to be a blocker; Jason, do we have a TYCHO bug for that? If not, can one be raised? (I don't think have an account but let me know if I can help here.)
