I must admit that I didn't quite understand the aggregation feature when
I read through the EBR code last week. It is referenced in the
category.xml but with no category and it only includes a few plugins.

I would have thought localArtifacts.ignore doing the trick, but
apparently it does not. I'll experiment some more.

I'm working on a separate build that combines the maven-bundle-plugin
with Tycho in two reactors, not on the EBR project itself. Hence, I only
use EBR (along with the JGit/EGit and Eclipse Aether builds) for
inspiration.

I may have some time to look around in the ebr.git repository some more
and prepare some pull request in the future, but don't hold your breath.

Best wishes,

Andreas
