FWIW, there is a bug open about removing
these:

Just because we build using Tycho doesn't mean someone is still building
it using PDE Build. We also don't remove redundant properties from the
build.properties files.

Hey Lars,
I think this is leftover from the old pde.build. See [1] for how it was
used.
With Tycho generating source features nowadays all these generate.feature
directives are configurations for tycho-source-feature-plugin in the respective
feature pom.xml.
IMHO, could safely be deleted.
