Description

I think this project and feature https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/blob/main/org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.language.sdk.dummy/feature.xml can be removed.

@cdietrich do you remember why it was there besides the comment in the feature?

Research direction

Start by inspecting org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.language.sdk.dummy/feature.xml and the surrounding project configuration. Review the issue discussion for the reason this dummy feature exists, then check whether the project or feature is referenced elsewhere. Done means the removal decision is justified and the obsolete project and feature can be removed without breaking the build.
