Are there any impacts of using it as a plugin with <extensions>true instead of an extension that I'm missing?
Do you want a PR with an update to the README with this?

This issue was originally titled "Eclipse p2 site to be able to install this for M2E support without having to manually DL and copy a JAR around", but I subsequently found a much simpler / better solution, see comment; this description is as initially submitted, but is no longer what this issue is about - I'm now just suggesting to update the README.
In an ideal world, the process described here https://github.com/trustin/os-maven-plugin#issues-with-eclipse-m2e-or-other-ides as:
could be made much smoother if this project published not only an Eclipse plugin JAR to Maven central, but a full Eclipse p2 site incl. an Eclipse feature. Then one could use the regular Help > Install New Software, or have e.g. an Eclipse Oomph Setup model such as https://github.com/vorburger/opendaylight-eclipse-setup install it, or list it in the M2E known extension catalog so that its (M2E's) wizard proposes to automatically download it with 1 click.
Would you welcome a contribution to this project which adds the required Eclipse feature and p2 site, built via the Tycho Maven extension, and if so would you then be willing to deploy that to Maven central?
This has come up e.g. in the context of https://github.com/coreos/jetcd/issues/340.
