Thanks a lot! Since this one is a show stopper right now, I will
investigate some more on this issue.
You need the maven-dependency-plugin goal "copy". There is good documentation

Okay, Nexus is to come anyway. We use local build environments (under
ressource control though) with the tycho-unsupported location type
"Directory" on the target definition, which therefore have to be
transformed to local p2 repositories previous to the build session
(featuring
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher). I
scripted this and it works, but I feel a litle uncomfortable about that.
A central Nexus instance hosting all of our stable features and plugins
sounds very promising.
- If the JRE-copying works, I don't know how to make the exported
product use that bundled JRE (and not the systems one).

Thanks for the hint. But maybe there is actually no need to do so,
perhaps the launcher looks for a 'jre' folder at the project root path
himself (at least our products created with the PDE export use their
local JRE without having such a parameter defined).
You should be able to add lines to the eclipse.ini through the product

Ack, I've learned this the hard way these days, and switched from
eclipse-application to eclipse-repository (with director afterwards). I
hope there will be some 'official' documentation soon.
Best regards,
