Is it possible to deploy (generate an update site, and generate eclipses) a language, while using Spoofax nightly?

Currently the generated update site always includes Spoofax-release, even though the metaborg.yaml specifies using snapshot.

I tried forcing the Spoofax version in icedust2.eclipse/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF:

Require-Bundle: org.metaborg.spoofax.eclipse;bundle-version="2.2.0"

But this makes the build fail:

[ERROR] Cannot resolve project dependencies:
[ERROR]   Software being installed: icedust2.eclipse 0.1.0.qualifier
[ERROR]   Missing requirement: icedust2.eclipse 0.1.0.qualifier requires 'bundle org.metaborg.spoofax.eclipse 2.2.0' but it could not be found

When I do an eclipse gen from a language it of course only includes the Spoofax release:

Eclipse: org.eclipse.platform.ide 4.6.3.M20170301-0400
Spoofax: org.metaborg.spoofax.eclipse 2.1.0.20161003-113458-master
System: Mac OS X x86_64 10.12.4

And since that release does not know about NaBL2, all analysis fails:

11:09 | WARN  | c.ConstraintSingleFileAnalyzer - Skipping eclipse:///weblab/weblab.ice2, because analysis failed
org.metaborg.core.analysis.AnalysisException: Analysis failed.

I tried adding the following to icedust2.eclipse.feature/feature.xml hoping the meta feature would be the nightly version, but that also didn’t work:

    <includes
          id="org.metaborg.spoofax.eclipse.meta.feature"
          version="0.0.0"
          optional="true"
          search-location="both"/>

If in the POM file you put the Eclipse nightly update site as a repository, it will build an update site that includes Spoofax nightly. Likewise, if you put the release update site in there, it will build an update site with the Spoofax release.
