Hi @cervantes-yadira, thank you for this PR. It already looks quite good. Nice work.
I just have a comment in the code to further refine this.

You can use Pattern matching for instanceof here and then combine the two if statements nicely into one.
Furthermore the comments can be reduced here. It's not necessary to write down every action in a corresponding comment. Comments should only be used to clarify the logic where it is not obvious from the code (ideally the code is readable and understandable in itself).
And last but not least the logic should be enhanced to to not add the dependencies if a user has selected a template.
If a template is selected that template already defines the necessary dependencies and nothing should be change here.
Just as described in #1306 (comment).

Thanks for the suggestions! I added the additional check for the use of templates and used pattern matching as you suggested. I have appended the commit and pushed it to this branch.

Dependencies aren't added for plug-ins that generate an activator file or use a template.

According to the original issue, using JFace and SWT is almost necessary for plugins that contribute to the UI. Since these dependencies can be easily removed and are already dependencies of Eclipse, we decided to add them by default.
Fixes #1306
