Maven Tycho Utilities

We have been helping our client migrate to maven tycho, and the biggest problem that we face is when filling the parent pom to remember the maven-tycho plugin tags or repository tags, tycho-p2-director-plugin tag for product packaging.

Therefore we @ ancit have created a tycho utils plugin which currently contributes more tycho specific code templates to the Maven Editor.

Currently it provides 4 Code Templates
* maven-tycho-plugin
* repository pointing to p2Layout
* tycho-p2-director-plugin
* target platform configuration

In this plugin we also plan to address issues like
1. Code template for
* Handling Non OSGI Libraries
* Version Handling
* Content Inclusion @ root of the Application like JRE etc

2. New archetype for Maven Tycho Projects
* eclipse-plugin
* eclipse-feature
* eclipse-repository

3. On selection of a Project of PDE Nature
* add eclipse-plugin as packaging type
* include maven-tycho plugin
* define repository tag etc.

Code is available on https://github.com/ANCIT/eclipse-utils

Bug Fixes
1. Fixed the installation problem due to version dependancies in feature plugin.
Now it is available for all eclipse plugins.
