Thanks. I was going to test that (once I am able to upgrade), but was
still curious why some org.eclipse.* bundles were included, but not
other bundles. Looks like the presence of these bundles might be due
to the Eclipse RCP feature, which is included in the product.

I've always ignored that validate function, because it reports all
bundles that are required but not included in an included feature as
missing. Looks like what I'd have to do is create (and keep up to
date!) an additional feature for each product that contains all the
bundles required for that project...
