There's nothing to install for Tycho, it will get pulled down automatically like everything else in Maven. You have to install M2Eclipse.

I don't have any power here to tell you what to do or not do.

My only suggested requirement would be to suggest no direct editing on the manifest and use what's generated, or it's just going to be a mess.

Either Shawn should be responsible because no one else interested wants to use M2Eclipse but the information needs to come from the source. So if not Shawn then one of you should rig up a CI job to update the SCM with the results from a successful build. My suggestion is that someone who is not using the canonical build system should not maintain the manifest by hand. Matthias seems to understand both sides of the equation, maybe he could do the project a solid and maintain the Eclipse bits.
