Re: [dash-dev] Getting started with CBI

Note that this is different from running
package.xml to repackage builds.

During a normal build, bundles are assembled
into the archives in 2 stages, first the bundles that were compiled (assemble),
then binary bundles coming from the target (package).
It is this second step that is turned
on by setting "runPackager=true".  Without it, the final
archive will only ever contain the bundlest that were compiled.

Naturally, that's how you tell the common builder what to build. It's 
not a full .releng project, like the old form we had in Modeling -- it's
MUCH simpler. But instructions (.xml), settings (.properties) and source
locations (.map) are still required.

You can override via commandline (see examples when you run start.sh  
w/o options), but you may also need to change things in the 
server.propeerties file. This implementation is still a bit kludgy and
open to suggested improvements.

Not supported yet, but I certainly want this. Manually repacking zips is
a PITA when PDE Packager exists to fullfil this automagically based on
features. Can you open a bug to track this? Patches welcome, too.
