Glad this trick worked for you.
As a side note, I believe there are two distinct workflows that can be
used to develop Eclipse/OSGi products with maven.
You can use PDE to work on the code, define dependencies, test, etc and
then use tycho to do the headless build. We call it "MANIFEST-first
mode" and I think it better suited for eclipse plugin development.
Alternatively, you can also use maven to generate OSGi bundle manifests
and other metadata during the build. We call it "POM-first mode" and it
works better for standalone OSGi based applications in my opinion.
Our primary focus with tycho so far was MANIFEST-first mode, but we plan
to extend POM-first mode support later too.

First, you can use PDE for all your IDE work (i.e. projects do not
have maven nature and maven dependencies classpath container) and use
Tycho to build these projects from command line "the maven way". This
is how we develop m2e and I think it is a good approach if you develop
eclipse plugins. Test code will have to move to separate projects,
however.
Sounds like this will result in greater changes in the build process,
but I will have a look at Tycho in the next time.
Then you can Maven both in IDE and on command line and only use PDE to
launch OSGi runtime from IDE. I had one test project set up this way
and it seemed to work. I think this is very close to your current
project configuration, only you need to remove pde classpath container
from .classpath (.project files have to have pde nature!). I was using
Tycho to generate bundle manifest (for obvious reasons ;-) ) but I
don't see why this would not work with felix/bnd plugin.
I have a manually created manifest: experiments in generating it with
bnd resulted in refresh-clean-marathons inside eclipse.
Now I removed the pde from classpath as you suggested and this seems to
work good. Workspace resolution can be enabled an the unittest
dependencies are resolved. Thank you for this hint!
regards,
Lars
