[tycho-user] tycho stops to find pom-first bundles after 0.14 migration

[Cristiano Gavião <cvgaviao@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've migrated tycho to 0.14.1 and maven-bundle-plugin to 2.3.7.
To start a clean build I have removed the .m2 repository folder in my 
machine. I've build all pom-first again and suddenly I've noted the 
manifest-first builds of my project starts to fail because tycho was not 
finding the pom-first bundles, even them being already installed by 
another reactor execution...
I've double checked and the pom-first bundles already was in the .m2 
local repository... :/

After some hours investigating, trying to understand what happen, I've 
decided to check the example found here: 
http://git.eclipse.org/c/m2e/m2e-core.git/tree/m2e-maven-runtime/pom.xml?id=milestones/1.1/1.1.0.20120320-0058. 
The only difference from my pom-first project was the use of this plugin:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>tycho-p2-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>

I've decide to try it. And after I've added this plugin to poms and have 
installed the pom-first projects again, all other manifest-first 
projects build comeback to work again...

Not completely satisfied I have did all steps again... remove .m2 
folder, installed pom-first bundles (without tycho-p2-plugin plugin), 
run the manifest-first projects... and fails... Using the 
tycho-p2-plugin, works...

So, could someone give some tip what am I missing here? what is the 
point with this tycho-p2-plugin in pom-first projects ?

regards,

Cristiano
