[tycho-user] Missing <repositories> Entry When Downloading from Central

[Timo Rohrberg <rti.init@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,

I do have a slight problem with tycho in our build environment. For my
various projects, I do have a parent pom project containing default
settings for the Tycho plugins. Additionally, that parent pom.xml
contains the following <repositories> section:

<repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>indigo</id>
      <layout>p2</layout>
      <url>http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/</url>
    </repository>
    <repository>
      <id>nebula</id>
      <layout>p2</layout>
      <url>http://download.eclipse.org/technology/nebula/snapshot</url>
    </repository>
    <repository>
      <id>rap</id>
      <layout>p2</layout>
      <url>http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.4/runtime/</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

If I now deploy that parent pom project into our central JFrog Maven
Artifactory, everything seems fine first. The pom.xml is correctly
deployed and can be retrieved from there via the Web-Interface.
Unfortunately, once the subsequent Tycho projects update their
snapshots (in the Jenkins local repository), the downloaded pom.xml
contains everything but the above <repositories> section. How is that
possible? Why is the downloaded pom.xml file adapted and not just
taken as deployed in the central artifactory?

Do you have any hint for me?

Thank you very much.

Best regards
Timo
