Re: [m2e-users] Problem with M2E and OSGi runtime launch config

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For projects that use maven-bundle-plugin (m-b-p for short), m2e-tycho,
despite the name, will execute m-b-p to generate bundle manifest as part
of eclipse workspace build. It will also make projects using m-b-p
visible to PDE tools, launch configuration in particular, so you can add
these projects to the list of bundles enabled in the launch configuration.

I only use this with "Eclipse Application" and "JUnit Plug-in Test" and
do not know if it works with "OSGi Framework" launch configurations.

Theoretically, you should not need to change anything in your pom.xml
files, but due to some PDE bugs I did not care to debug you have to
change location of generated bundle manifest to META-INF/manifest.mf. I
usually do this in pom profile activated by m2e.version property, so
regular command line build works as is. I also lock version qualifier
'.qualifier' (or any constant string, really) in the same profile to
avoid unnecessary workspace builds.
