Re: [tycho-user] wrapping POJO dependencies...

[Eric Gwin <eric.gwin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Justin,

Thanks for the reply. The next step I was going to try was to remove the "lib" component from this reactor, and create a feature and p2 component project to generate a "local" p2 I could add to the current project/reactor instead. I cannot "publish" the p2 because the "lib.jar" contains licensed jars that cannot be accessible to unlicensed users.

I was hoping that Maven was flexible enough to be able to assemble the lib jar itself (I have a static OSGi Manifest for it), and that by not bypassing Maven entirely that Tycho would be able to resolve the dependencies (especially if I could specify "eclipse-plugin" as the packaging type). I was explicitly trying to avoid having to resort to the extremes of generating an entirely separate process consisting of two otherwise unecessary components in order to migrate this project to Tycho from Ant.

We are also moving away from using Bnd (which is packaging OSGi post-build, as opposed to building manifest first), and I'd really like to avoid adding another dependency upon it so that I can remove the current bnd dependency and use Tycho for this project instead - way too much irony in that.

Though using Ant-plugin in order to be able to migrate an Ant project to use Maven is close.

I also would rather not create a static "lib.jar", not having the wrapping process inherent in the overall build is asking for an "unreproducible build" scenario somewhere down the line.

The parent pom lists it as the first module to build, even so, Maven/Tycho cannot resolve the included dependencies - I suspect it is because the jar is being generated outside the "Tycho build" and as such it is not included in the dependency resolution.
