And this is already how Tycho works, so we do download OSGi dependencies from P2 repositories. So we want this to work for automated builds and inside Eclipse. So we're already looking at integrating with the work being done in PDE. Searching for dependencies and provisioning dependencies is something that's been done in M2Eclipse for years. We definitely want to wire up M2Eclipse to do this properly for OSGi dependencies as well. But this must also work from pom-first projects. Which I still argue is going to be the source of more bundles in the next year then anything else.
