Set up an eclipse update site

[reprogrammer]

An Eclipse update site will bring two benefits:

• Simplifies the user study by having only one instance of Eclipse on the participant's machine.
• Makes Cascade easily available to public.

[reprogrammer]

After installing Cascade from its update site and running it on the jolden-treeadd project, I got the following exception.

[reprogrammer]

I used a fresh workspace for the jolden-treeadd project but that didn't prevent the exception.

[reprogrammer]

Inspired by the instructions at http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Eclipse4MigrationGuide/article.html#compatibiliylayer_features, I added the following to feature.xml but it didn't fix the problem.

[reprogrammer]

I just noticed another exception:
