I realize I left something out. For the uimaj-j (the new JCas oriented version
of uima, also known as uimaj-v3), eclipse plugins depending on this should be in
a separate Eclipse Composite update site.

Following the conventions in the other naming note posted to the dev list, we
would have:

eclipseUpdateSite  <- composite site
  uimaj
  uima-as
  ruta

and

eclipseUpdateSite-j 
   uimaj-j
   uima-as-J
   ruta-J

or something like that.
