Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Ganymede M5 problems

Putting a SDK on the Ganymede update site is a 'could do' according to 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ganymede_Simultaneous_Release#Could_Do

When doing an EPP package build, we are currently adding the Eclipse Platform 
update site manually and pull the SDK feature from there. (I think it was me 
who complained about those SDK dependencies some time ago, but in the end i 
do not have a strong opinion)
