IDEA-46787 Improve creating of framework definition

Issue is visible to: All Users

In Eclipse there is an ability to define target platform for OSGi-based development. User may add jars from any folder(s) into the platform.

Current version of OSMORC allows to create the Equinox framework definintion from folder which must contain "plugins" folder containing the jarred bundles. This is not convenient at all. Besides it is not possible to define the contents of several folders for framework definition.

We will definitely improve framework instance definition, but currently it is of low priority,because:

It's possible to create a collection of jars in such a way that it fulfills the requirements for the definition of a specific type of framework instance.
Framework instances aren't changed very often. Once set up, they only change when parts of it are updated by newer releases.

So even though it would be more convenient to get the requested improvement, not having it now shouldn't pose too much restrictions on users of Osmorc.

This improvement will be implemented, but most likely not in the next few weeks.
