Re: [tycho-user] m2e-tycho : what is its scope ?

["Dahanne, Anthony" <Anthony.Dahanne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Igor for your answer.
Importing m2e-eclipse projects in eclipse I could see how convenient is m2e-tycho, auto transforming those pom first bundle projects into "real" bundles.

Now, if I understand correctly, as an Eclipse plugin Manifest first developer, m2e-tycho is just useful to shutdown m2e errors messages about "I don't know what is an eclipse-plugin/eclipse-feature packaging".

Even more, still as an Eclipse plugin Manifest first developer, since I have to rely on PDE target platform resolver, the only value added by m2eclipse is to provide me with the "Run as Maven ..." contextual menus.

I trust you you had good reasons to stop investigating the use of Tycho dependency resolver inside
Eclipse, but if you committed this work in a (public) branch, I'd be curious to have a look.

Thanks again
Regards,
Anthony

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.
