Description

b3 is not a very active project and it's not a project that's easy to manipulate, contribute to, customise or even use. Most Eclipse.org project use Tycho, which is pretty active, versatile and also relies on a the Maven ecosystem which is pretty rich.
In order to make the Simultaneous Release more accessible to the crowd and to hopefully make it easier for more people to contribute to the SimRel build process, it would make sense to consider having the SimRel build a Tycho-based one.
