Re: [tycho-user] Run task before the target is resolved (target-resolve

[Niels Nielsen <niels.nielsen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have been using Tycho on and off for the last year without ever going into details.
However, it has always been strange to me this fact that dependency resolution has to happen before the build cycle starts.
I assume this is eclipse resolver specifics, but it does have some drawbacks

1) It is error prone to any propertybased specification of resolver definition in parent poms as the parent pom is not build before subprojects are analyzed
2) It prevents generating a target platform without having to have a bootstrap mechanism.
3) Problems wrt dependency resolution is highlighted outside of the individual project containing the error, which is confusing and difficult to trace.

Now, given that it is so contrary to normal maven dependency resolutions, how come it is not possible to work around it or at least lazy load the dependency mechanism?

Regards
/Niels

Dependency resolution has to happen before build lifecycle starts, so it is not possible to run any maven goals before it.
