So it does not really fix anything in the file itself?

It's better if it modifies the file directly IMO.

 

Currently, if tycho can't resolve it simply fails with: "can't resolve
because missing requirement XYZ and so on"
It would be really useful (and might solve the issue for simrel also) if
we can add some pice of code that emits if there is an alternative
version or no version at all for the missing requirement, eclipse (or
P2?) even computes "alternative solutions", maybe this feature can be
reused to give the required hints.

 

p2 already has such features to compute remediations; but it's long to process and requires some user decision. IMO it does not fit well in what we expect as a build tool.
