I know in e4 we have 2 more steps after our build finishes building
all of our features and bundles.

First we publish our product using the pde build ant task:
p2.publish.product  That publishes our legacy-eclipse.product IU (and
I think it picks up the p2.inf from our plugin project).

Then we run the director for each combination of os,arch,ws, and zip
up the results.

e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui/examples/org.eclipse.e4.ui.examples.legacy.workbench
is our product plugin, and
e4/releng/org.eclipse.e4.builder/builder/general/customTargets.xml
contains our product publish and director scripts.  They're both in
/cvsroo/eclipse

Later,
PW
