[tycho-user] Running plugin test with native fragments

[Ramy Siha <ramysiha@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,
   One of our maven p2 repository containing a licensing feature and it's plugin, this plugin have 2 different fragments ( 1 for windows and 1 for linux ) for holding their corresponding jni libraries . Of course if we installed the feature as an IU the fragments will get extracted so the plugin code will be able to load the libraries with their full path. ( The license feature is third party so we cannot modify it )

We get the problem when we try run an eclipse-test-plugin that depends on the licensing plugin, since the fragments when downloaded from the repository to the .m2 folder they do not get extracted and also @ the target/work/configuration/config.ini the plugin is listed of it's .jar form so unzipping the fragments manually will not do the trick

I did consider installing the license fragment IU into target/work directory of the test plugin project so that the fragments will get extracted and loaded correctly at test run-time but I was looking for a simpler solution.
