Description

The current Eclipse feature/plugin/update-site build design re-releases at each release level (e.g., uimaj sdk 2.4.2) all the plugins, even though many (sometimes all) have not changed at all.

Eclipse's own releases have a way of reusing unchanged plugins, etc. Figure out how to do this with less replication / duplication, reusing unchanged things.
