Move org.eclipse.equinox.event to use automatic manifest generation

[laeubi]

This enable the new automatic manifest generation for org.eclipse.equinox.event and use annotations for the component.

This is currently work-in-progress to track progress on the Tycho side, currently the following things should be checked:

• It can actually build the project, this will include tycho-pomless detect this as a regular Tycho project
• It resolves to the DS version 1.3 as declared in the pde.bnd file
• It uses Java 1.8 as declared with the -runee instruction here
• API tools work as expected
• The resulting bundle manifest looks like we desire

Build currently fails with

Error: Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-packaging-plugin:4.0.0:package-plugin (default-package-plugin) on project org.eclipse.equinox.event: /home/runner/work/equinox/equinox/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.event/build.properties: bin.includes value(s) must be specified. -> [Help 1]

The build now works, but the API Tools can not run successful:

I assume the problem is that Tycho does not resolve the BND requirements when building the API tools target platform, has to investigate on this.

I looked a bit deeper at the API tools issue, the problem seems that as the manifest is generated there is now a timing issue, so the results vary from success, to some compile issues reported to errors with access restrictions. So need to investigate if/how we can fix the API Tools application in this regard.

Lets se if improved ApiToolsMojo can help here...

API tools build now also works 🥇

I now added BUNDLE_ROOT_PATH= preference as described here:

• Support setting the bundleroot for manifest generated projects eclipse-pde/eclipse.pde#805

to verify the build still works with that setting.
