I'd be interested in manifest attributes like Bundle-SymbolicName,
Bundle-Version, Require-Bundle, Import-Package, and Export-Package.
Storing those attributes should work though I know Eclipse's runtime might
do some extra things that in some cases would cause differences between
what the manifest shows, and what is actually provided, but I think it's
still a good start.
