Re: [egit-dev] How to build [EJ]Git?

It's not simply the consumption of the artifact after the fact. The
project has to be amenable to development outside of Eclipse. For
EGit it's not so much a concern because someone using IDEA is not
likely to be very interested in EGit. But there are lots of people
interested in JGit and Tycho is not going to work anywhere but
Eclipse on an IDE level.
That's a call for the JGit project, right? It seems to me we either
make it easy for Eclipse and difficult for Netbeans and IDEA, or vice
versa. The other observation is that at an OSGi level, Netbeans and
IDEA support is pretty minimal right now. And JGit is being developed
as an OSGi aware bundle that can also be used as a standalone Jar. In
order to test that, we really need an IDE that can handle both the
idea of a JAR and that of an OSGi bundle.
There is of course a separate question of people wanting to consume
JGit from a local repo inside a Maven 2 project. I think those are the
people that are currently hurt by the idea of Tycho's artifacts. We
can talk statistics and wider world usage all we want, but the people
we really need to canvas are those on the JGit project - and to be
honest, Shawn and Robin are the two who've done the most work on it
and should probably be the ones who are saying what JGit needs, rather
than hangers-on like myself.
