Yes, that's what I'm trying to figure out.  It's been a long time
(about five years) since I did any Eclipse plugin development and most
of it has leaked out of my head in the meantime.

I've eventually figured out how to do this.  After then 'mvn compile'
mentioned in the README, you then need to 'mvn package'.  Then add
SConsolidator/ch.hsr.ifs.sconsolidator.updates/target/repository/ as a
local plugin repository and install as per normal.  I'll add some
changes to the README to my pull request when I get that far.

Thanks for getting my brain into gear.
