So, anyone building Framework with Tycho should be well aware of this relative path dependency between projects. My changes are actually about replacing the same hard-coded relative path in 2 places with a single property and set it to ../../../rt.equinox.binaries/ instead of ../../../ [1] is the last change to merge, [2] and [3] has been merged already.
