[tycho-user] Tycho-p2-plugin question

Dear all,

I just came across the tycho-p2-plugin in a couple of examples. It seems there are two use cases, one has to do with validation against baseline repositories (whatever that means) and the other has something to do with p2 metadata.

Is there any documentation on what this plugin can do and when I should use it? I couldn't find anything helpful on the tycho wiki.
