Re: [tycho-user] tycho 0.13.0 released

Hi Max,

At least for me, using a Macosx and materializing a RCP product, 0.13.0 
is the only way to go. But I can tell you that there are two options to 
avoid this download. I've listen some problems related a performance 
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=356888) but I had no much 
problem with that.

1) You could create a TargetPlatform project using a target platform 
definition file that points to some local site or directories. This way 
you cant point you target-platform-configuration plugin to use it. I had 
no time to test this improvement yet: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=342808, but I will in a 
couple weeks.

<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId>
<version>${tycho-version}</version>
<configuration>
<resolver>p2</resolver>
<pomDependencies>consider</pomDependencies>
<target>
<artifact>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>my.target.project</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<classifier>indigo</classifier>
</artifact>
</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>


2) you can download the entire  P2 site locally, setup some local http 
server pointing to its folder and add the URL of the local p2 site to 
your POM:

<repository>
<id>Downloaded_P2</id>
<url>${my-local-site}</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
<layout>p2</layout>

cheers
