That makes sense.

Thinking about this a bit more: The tycho homepage
(http://eclipse.org/tycho/) mentions that tycho is also a tool for
building OSGi bundles. Someone who builds an OSGi bundle (not an eclipse
plugin) and uses Maven/Tycho as his build tool and a differet IDE/Editor
than eclipse, why is someone like that required to specify source
locations in an eclipse specific way? Wouldn't it make more sense to
specify this in a Maven or OSGi way? In addition to that I think tycho
should pick up the sources at the standard maven locations
(src/main/...) in case it cannot find a build.properties file.
