Maybe I overlooked it or it is not supported. How would I buld a feature wih wuff, i.e. using a feature.xml file?

Wuff does not support Eclipse Features yet. My personal point of view on this: Eclipse Features is an attempt to compensate for absence of transitive dependencies in OSGi. As soon as transitive dependencies are there (with Wuff, for example), there's no need for Eclipse Features. If this is absolutely critical for you, we may discuss details of the suggested Eclipse Features support.

I will think twice. Maybe features will be useful in context of existing infrastructure. Could you, please, provide the simplest use-case?

I'll implement support of eclipse features soon.

Early preview of Eclipse Feature and Repository generation is now available in Wuff 0.0.13-SNAPSHOT. I created set of example projects, showing this feature at work, at: https://github.com/akhikhl/wuff-sandbox Your critique, comments and test results are very much welcome.

@akhikhl I tried this with my legacy app and did not understand the output i got. I had hoped that i can write all the osgi bundels and plugins i need for my RCP in the build.gradle of the feature and get these as a result in feature-output folder. What i got instead was a feature.jar with a feature.xml. Did i misunderstood this ? Because i already have that feature.xml. Can you clarify what this actually does. Thank you in advance.

This looks good from the sandbox, is it available in the current version?
