[tycho-user] local p2 repository and update policy

[Kamil Demecki <skajotde@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My build has two steps:

First step is to download bundles from maven (maven-dependency-plugin)
and generate p2 in temporary dir (publish-features-and-bundles)

Second step is normal maven build with declared p2 repositories. I'm
using two repositories, one for eclipse36 and second for local
repository from step one.

It works very well but I found problem when bundle in step one has the
same version in Manifest even for new versions of maven artifact - I
know that it is not recommended but I cannot fix it.

Thus my build cannot see latest bundle even my local repo contains
newest but tycho compare version in Manifest and use bundle from own
cache.

I tried configure updatePolicy in local p2 repository:

<repository>
    <id>local-deps-from-nexus</id>
    <layout>p2</layout>
    <url>${p2.local.deps.url}</url>
    <releases>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
    </releases>
    <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
    </snapshots>
</repository>
<repository>
    <id>eclipse</id>
    <layout>p2</layout>
    <url>${p2.eclipse.url}</url>
</repository>

It doesn't work for me. I found
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=337022 but I think
always policy should work now.

One workaround is to delete .m2\repository\.meta before every build
but it is last solution I would say. Is any other solution?
