I had a good look at the Tycho. It seems to be capable of doing what we
need. However there is a serious problem with it. As this documentation (and
many other) [2]  says, Tycho requires Maven 3. But we are still using Maven
2 and Maven 2 and Maven 3 are not completely compatible with each other.
Therefore this is more like a "No Go" for Tycho option IMO.
