Re: [m2e-users] A bundle dilemma

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

m2e-tycho does not resolve pom-first dependencies from maven
repositories directly. it needs "stepping-stone" workspace bundle
project, which apparently does not work for you.

in more technical term, PDE target platform implementation is quite
limited on both what it can do, i.e. single target platform for entire
workspace, and how it can be extended, i.e. pretty much not at all, so
m2e-tycho works by making workspace maven project visible to pde but
can't make maven dependencies visible to pde directly, without such
intermediate maven-pde project.
