Re: [tycho-user] Installing plugins/features with Tycho?

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Install to build a product (which includes Eclipse), or run 
install-testing to verify what you built installs OK into a given 
version of Eclipse?

If the former, we use

        <packaging>eclipse-repository</packaging>

with
                <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>

                                </configuration>

                          <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>

                                <configuration>
                                        <products>

<id>com.jboss.jbds.all</id>
                                                </product>
                                        </products>
                                </configuration>
                        </plugin>

To produce a product and accompanying update site.

Also needed is com.jboss.jbds.p2.inf:

# This part defines category that contains feature generated based on 
product file
units.1.id=com.jboss.jbds.all.category
units.1.version=$version$
units.1.provides.1.namespace=org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.1.provides.1.name=com.jboss.jbds.all.category
units.1.provides.1.version=$version$
units.1.properties.1.name=org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.category
units.1.properties.1.value=true
units.1.properties.2.name=org.eclipse.equinox.p2.name
units.1.properties.2.value=JBoss Developer Studio
units.1.requires.1.namespace=org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.1.requires.1.name=com.jboss.jbds.all
units.1.requires.1.range=[$version$,$version$]
units.1.requires.1.greedy=true

and a com.jboss.jbds.product file, which uses the same uid value of 
com.jboss.jbds.all:

<product name="JBoss Developer Studio (Branded Product)" 
uid="com.jboss.jbds.all" id="com.jboss.jbds.product.product" 
application="org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" version="7.0.0.qualifier" 
useFeatures="true" includeLaunchers="true">
