We have an example of this in the org.eclipse.jdt/feature.xml. We ship 
both JUnit 3 and JUnit 4, so we need at least one entry with a fixed 
version number (we made them both fixed -- not sure if replacing 4.10.0.q 
with 0.0.0 would work):

...
   <plugin
         id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="0.0.0"
         unpack="false"/>

   <plugin
         id="org.junit"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="4.10.0.qualifier"/>

   <plugin
         id="org.junit"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="3.8.2.qualifier"/>
...
