Re: [tycho-user] m2e-tycho : what is its scope ?
|
There is no well-defined scope and no roadmap for m2e-tycho. The project
was originally setup to help Sonatype developers work on m2e and related
projects and we still add and fix things on as needed basis.
I had a working prototype that used Tycho dependency resolver inside
Eclipse and it was able to compile and launch tests and applications,
all without PDE. Running Tycho dependency resolver inside Eclipse turned
out to be rather hard problem and I decided against developing the
prototype any further.

Hello all, I just tried m2e-tycho, and I'm wondering certain things
about the roadmap of this m2e-eclipse extension. In fact, I
understand it is a great way to expose a pom first bundle as a true
bundle to Eclipse (and hence allow resolutions of import packages and
require bundles from other bundles in the workspace), as Stuart
mentioned no that long ago on bnd-tools mailing list
http://groups.google.com/group/bndtools-users/browse_thread/thread/cd57ab1d9818542
Now, is there a roadmap, a goal , that would define what this plugin
should do in the future ?
In particular would it be possible to use this plugin to replace PDE
in the IDE ?; if it was capable of resolving<repositories> tags from
Tycho project's pom and also<target> couldn't we imagine that ?
Importing a tycho project would be as easy as a importing any other
projects with m2eclipse : import maven projects and you're done,
everything is set up for you.(target platform, classpath entries)
I hope my message makes sense, I did not find a project page about
m2e-tycho, just the github repo
(https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-tycho ) and some messages on
mailing lists.
