There is this weird functionality that when a feature and a plugin have
the same ID, the plugin will be used implicitely as the branding plugin
for that feature.
This is used by the org.eclipse.platform, sdk and jdt features (but not
the rcp that explicitely declares the branding plugin yet uses the same
id too) , and I have seen it done often elsewhere.
I personally do not like those implicit references. Anyway, when
checking out in a workspace those ugly babies, I tend to use
<id>-feature as a project name.
