I"m still new at this, so my answer may not be correct.

Tycho doesn't use Maven dependencies to resolve your Eclipse dependencies.
Tycho will however use dependencies available in the same reactor
build of your project (i.e. modules as you discuss above).  If you
don't want that then I think you need to use a target platform to
resolve Eclipse dependencies against.
See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Target_Platform

Tycho uses Manifest first by default to resolve dependencies.
Since you are building Eclipse plugins I suspect that all your
dependencies are already OSGi compliant, so you should not need to use
pom-first dependencies.

Agreed, since I am building eclipse plugins, I should follow Manifest first approach But there are some eclipse plugins which are acting as utility to other. So I wanted to add these plugins to repository and add its dependency in pom.xml. so every time, it is not required to add these plugins as child module to project.

 

You could also look at the demo projects to see how they do it.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Demo_Projects

I'm not building Eclipse Plugins, I'm building an RCP application.
So I have a target platform that only contains a subset of the plugins
that I actually need.  Im also using Nexus to proxy the Eclipse P2
repositories to improve performance.
