Re: [pde-build-dev] Update on Mavenizing Eclipse Builds

["Wendell Beckwith" <wbeckwith@xxxxxxxxx>]

I looked at the compiler plugin and once I learned that I had to add the eclipse compiler as a dependency of the maven-compiler-plugin I got it working.  What I haven done is figure out the correct syntax for getting the eclipse compiler to use the access rules.  Of course I have only started looking at this issue.  I would prefer to reuse the compiler plugin if it is relatively simpler to do than code a new integration.  Anyone with pointers on how access rules are passed to the eclipse batch compiler?

As part-author of the Maven Compiler Plugin and the Plexus Compiler API
I wouldn't mind adding a "osgi-complicancy" flag to the API that the
compiler plugin can pass to the implementation. It is already possible
to use the Eclipse compiler as the plugin's compiler implementation (but
then as a plain javac).
