Description

update the plugin to accommodate new requirements.

1) Eclipse on Mac
There are two edition of eclipse on Mac, carbon and cocoa. From Eclipse 3.6, only cocoa is supported. But maven-eclipsepde-plugin can only recognize carbon eclipse on Mac, so we have to fix it to make GEP build successfully on Mac. You may see details in GERONIMODEVTOOLS-649.

2)Optional bundles
There are some optional required bundles in MANIFEST.MF for some extended functions, such as TPTP and Free Aires Tools. They're not mandatory for GEP and actually GEP don't need these bundles in build process. They're marked as "optional" because user may get these extra plugins by themselves for some advanced functions. So these optional bundles shouldn't block the build process of GEP. Unfortunately, current maven-eclipsepde-plugin does block GEP build process because of these optional bundles.
