Re: [tycho-user] Using "Automated Management of Dependencies" when build

["Sievers, Jan" <jan.sievers@xxxxxxx>]

hm. What I understood is that additional.bundles defines the flat list of Bundle-SymbolicName's (no version) which

1. will be added to the compile classpath
2. can be used to manually compute dependencies with the PDE MANIFEST editor.
   You do this by clicking "Analyze code and add Dependencies" in the MANIFEST editor 
   and it will add the Require-Bundle or Import-Package statements needed

If this is true, tycho should just add the dependencies to latest version of all dependencies listed in additional.bundles to the compile classpath.
The user is responsible to make sure the MANIFEST has all dependencies for resolving at runtime.

Jan

Unless I misunderstood how automatic dependency management works,
additional.bundles is only half of the puzzle. It tells the tooling what
bundles can be used to look for dependencies, but actual Import-Package
(or Require-Bundle) have to be calculated during the build by analyzing
bundle classes.
