Because these are not things you can filter.
They are Eclipse Manifest files, Feature files, etc and Eclipse needs
to be able to read them.

Because I wanted to be able to click the "Perform Maven Release" in
Jenkins and have everything taken care of.

Otherwise I need to run a couple of things on the command line, and
then manually tag and deploy.
I can't use the release plugin because the pom and Eclipse files need
to be kept in sync, and if I upgrade them to release versions outside
of the release plugin then the release fails because there are no
snapshots to transform.

Admittedly this is a bunch of trivial steps I need to do to get this
to work, but I am trying to automate and dumb down the steps.
