This leads to the wider question on the future of the PDE build component.

Throughout the years, PDE Build has never been the center of much attention.
Now with the overwhelming adoption of Maven/Tycho as technology for headless
builds, and the disconnect resulting from what the IDE does and what Tycho
does, I think that keeping PDE Build alive is not really helping anyone (for
example, when I implemented the support for the new mac layout, I had to
modify PDE build in a number of places and this was definitely not fun).
Consequently I think we should explore a way to get rid of PDE Build and
replace it with Tycho.

When I first started this thought exercise a couple years ago, it seemed
complicated (especially to build just one plug-in). However the recent
changes in Tycho to support pom-less builds would definitely simplify
things.
Of course this would mean shipping Maven (and maybe Tycho) as part of the
SDK, but I think the benefits would be:
- consistent story between headless and IDE builds (today there are still
disconnects between PDE build and Tycho)
- one codebase to work on with one focus
- potential for improving the sharing of bundles between PDE and Maven

Hi Elena

PDE Build is not getting much love these days. I looked at the change and
merged it.

Thanks,
