I'm wondering if the following would work:
1) convert the UIMA plugins to features, and make the features depend on
EMF. This is already a Jira issue, which no one has picked up to work
on (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-74 ).
2) only document the method of install which requires use of Eclipse
Update Manager.

Yes, I agree with Tong. Even if it is not possible to host such a site
in the web, it is possible to distribute the bundles as a locale
update site, as some other project already does it. In that case, in
my point of view the installation becomes more reliable and easier
from the userperspective.

The difficulty of the installation comes from 2 sources:
1. CDE tries to support many versions of Eclipse
2. No checking of compatible version between Eclipse and EMF
The above problem continues to pop-up forever !
One approach is to try to use Eclipse Update Manager (as mentionned
by Adam)
to check the conflict.
