Hi Benoït, One way to deal with this is to use the maven-bundle-plugin (a Felix subproject) to build your bundles and simply use a Maven assembly (using the maven assembly plugin) to generate your distributions. It is straightforward to generate an archive or a directory that will contain your bundles, the Felix runtime and scripts. You can even set the appropriate permissions (e.g, the executable bit) when you generate your assembly.
Tycho is about having PDE projects build in Maven.
