Build the p2updatesite using Bazel (#38)

To do so we download directly the Eclipse platform to use its
tooling to build the metadata of the p2 site.

We should ultimately take all deps for the plugin from the Eclipse
platform instead of downloading it twice.

Eclipse plugin for Bazel (Highly experimental)

e4b is an Eclipse plugin for Bazel. It is really rudimentary. It simply supports creating the classpath from a project and using Bazel for incremental builds..

You can create a new Bazel project with New project > Import Bazel project Then you can select the list of targets you want to build and the list of directories you want to track.

It is highly experimental and support is minimal. However, we are happy to accept contribution to make this support grows to a better shape.

Installation

This plugin was tested with Eclipse Mars (4.5) but should also work with Eclipse Neon (4.6).

Using the plugin

To import an existing Bazel project or start a new one, go to “New” > “Project...” > “Others”.
