We use those as a post-build test task that can help discover issues
when you assemble several projects's plugin together, to make sure all
dependencies are properly resolved in a user configuration.
It performs a static validation ensurnig that you will get OSGi
resolution at the minimum.
I could see it's use for Callisto, or any large or very large Eclipse
deployment.
For instance validating that a set of plugins/bundles you ship will
resolve at runtime -- especially when you have 2500 plugins ;-) created
by every known alien species in the galaxy-- can be daunting and error
prone.

Including a test/validation task after everything has been built and
packed can uncover snafus.
At least it does for me.

Cordially
