Re: [tycho-user] Forcing Tycho to check checksum with updated artifacts.

[Ramy Siha <ramysiha@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm aware that this is a non-standard behavior ( actually a wrong one ) but I believe that with using the "--update-snapshots" option Tycho should be aware the the plugins modification date has changed ( similar to artifacts.jar ) and update them ( even if they were in the same version ) . I could be wrong of course. I'm still new at this.

There is no such feature in Tycho and will most likely never be added since it goes against the fundamental rule of artifact immutability.

Hello All,

   I'm pretty new at Tycho and I have been facing this problem where we have a local p2 repository at our company that gets updated regularly by other teams, unfortunately the plugins version does not get changed ( it's wrong I know ) so of course Tycho does not detect any changes and does not update the plugins assuming that they are the same, given that the files modification dates has changed on the repository. 

What I have noticed also is that the Tycho does detect that the modification date of the artifacts.jar file got changed and it downloads it. The artificats.jar file contains different checksum for the plugins ( since the plugins content has changed of course ), so my question is there is a way to force Tycho to recompute the hashes and re-downloaded the plugins if they are different ? 

If there is no such feature, is it an easy fix I can try to implement ?

Best Regards,
