It could be (as long as there is some access to a BundleContext
somewhere). However, this requires all of our consumers to implement a
specific setup/teardown process on their own. They also need to maintain
it themselves.

Thus, we use the "application" approach supported when running JUnit
Plug-In tests in Eclipse. Similar to what SWTBot does for their
consumers. This is a simple setting they need to set and we maintain the
code and process. Thus, I was wondering if Tycho also wants to support
this. Igor implemented this for SWTBot already in the UI test
application. However, that doesn't work for us because we don't have any
UI bundles in our target platform.
