There was another request which has been turned down as well:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=412742
The main point is that the MANIFEST.MF is a configuration file for Tycho, and so it should be easy to find. This is made harder if the path is configurable.
All configuration files should be in “standard” locations. Right now, this is only META-INF/MANIFEST.MF for OSGi bundles, but there could be other standards
as well (e.g. for web bundles). Not sure these other standards exist, so far every request we got for this wanted the file in a different place.
So if you have an established standard that you’d want Tycho to support, you could open an enhancement and get other users to vote for it. Then, this IMHO could
be supported.

I'm specifically using WebSphere Liberty, and the tooling support for eclipse provided:
https://www.ibmdw.net/wasdev/downloads/
The target platform that they use simply references folders on disk and provides the appropriate plugins to support JSP's etc. I am in the process of turning that target definition and directory
structure into a p2 repository (anoyingly the eclipse export target platform wizard builds a repository with no plugins in the artifacts.xml!).

No, Tycho still requires OSGi bundle manifest to be locating in
${project.basedir}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
Out of curiosity, can you explain tools involved in development of such
webapps? I assume all webapps' dependencies are available from P2
repositories, how are these repositories get populated?
