This was the best one I found, in the end I had to build my own UML
models to work out how the black magic PDE Ant setup actually worked.
It is far too clever and hurts your head getting it sorted, but once
you do it is manageable.
The best approach I can recommend is to get "integration" tests written.
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177677 for how I
went and did it.
That way you can have some confidence you haven't broken PDE
completely (it's very easy to do).
I run PDE unmodified, capture the generated artifacts, copy the
artifacts to my test directory, modify the artifacts to the expected
output, write my integration tests, and then run/code until the tests
work.
