Here is a rules file to download sources.

Now, what about Tycho's dependency on Eclipse? If you want a more
"clean" solution, I could create another package "eclipse-bundles", with
the same sources of eclipse, that build and install just the few (100)
bundles required by Tycho compilation. This could create also related
maven artifacts.
