Re: [tycho-user] Using "Automated Management of Dependencies" when building with tycho?

From the linked article, AMD appears very similar to how
maven-bundle-plugin words, only apparently using some custom
PDE-specific logic to calculate Import-Package.

I think it is possible to support this in Tycho, at least if PDE will be
willing to provide us API to use their Import-Package calculation
code without rest of PDE and Eclipse Workbench.

Personally, though, I am really amazed how much maven-bundle-plugin has
improved during last two-three years and I will probably recommend use
of pom-first approach for people who do not want to craft bundle
manifests by hand.

In an eclipse plugin its possible to specify dependencies using the
Automated Management of Dependencies (AMD) which basically is the same
as plain dependency management except that the dependencies are not
written to the MANIFEST file. When building with PDE build this works
fine but when building with tycho I often need to add some of the
dependencies from the AMD either to imported packages or required or I
get compilations errors (Access restriction ...)

Do you guys avoid using AMD or are there plans for better support of
AMD when building with tycho (currently I use 0.12.0)?
