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

["Oberlies, Tobias" <tobias.oberlies@xxxxxxx>]

Dependency resolution needs to happen before the module build starts, because it determines the module build order.

My idea to solve this issue was to introduce a lifecycle phase before module ordering (and just execute that phase in an arbitrary order), but I couldn't convince the Maven guys to implement this for me, so this will probably not come - unless you or someone else is willing to implement this in Maven...

Tobias
