Re: [tracecompass-dev] Splitting the CTF library into a separate project

[Alexandre Montplaisir <alexmonthy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for the pointers, interesting to see that there is some activity
in this direction!

To make a bundle available to both packaging format, you can either
"mavenize" a p2 repo, or "p2-ify" a Maven repo. I already did the
latter, and it covers our needs (I don't even need the p2 repo after
all). But if someone wants to attempt the first approach, I will
definitely be interested.

Cheers,
Alex

The idea was to do something similar to the tracecompass-test-traces [1] repository, which is to have the same code base generate both a Maven artifact and a p2 repo. That way it can be used by both Eclipse plugins and "standard" Maven projects.
