Description Ralf Sternberg

The WAR builds in releng/org.eclipse.rap.examples.build are currently using feature-based products. I'd suggest to use plugin-based products instead. This will remove complexity from the war build because:

- we get rid of the feature folder, feature.xml, and the additional pom.xml
- plugins will only be kept in a single place, currently they're defined in the feature.xml, startlevels are defined in the project file
- one less step to do when additional third-party example bundles (see readme.txt)

Since there is currently only one single feature per war, the features do not help to add structure.
