This reply is borderline off topic but I'll put it in with the mix of answers you will get, just in case it helps. I do as much of my eclipse RCP [aka OSGi] app as I possibly can *without* using eclipse plugin projects, just plain old maven bundles that I build with the felix maven plugin. As part of this maven build, I use the maven-dependency-plugin to copy these plain old osgi bundles into the target platform folder of my RCP app, and I'm using these plain old bundles as OSGi bundles inside my eclipse RCP app. All of my plain old maven bundles build easily with one mvn install command to the parent pom - simple, easy, clean stuff. Then, those very few bundles left which *MUST* be PDE projects (4 of 25 so far) because they use extensions are small and manageable in number where I don't even feel the need for tycho yet. It will be a tycho build soon, but the point for me is that making all my bundles PDE bundles just so I can use one tool to build them all is whacko crazy thinking. Didn't start out thinking that, but that's what I think now. My 2c, your mileage may vary, yada yada.
