Re: [tycho-user] Integrating OSGi bundles from Maven Central

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you use pomDependencies=consider, then don't forget that at installation, you need to make the bundle available in a p2-friendly way, or your installation will fail being unable to resolve freemarker.
I think the the "Eclipse Bundle Recipes" [1] project is about resolving this general issue of consuming Maven bundles in the p2 world, and vice-versa.
For JBoss Tools, we've created what we called "Locus" which is a site that allows us to include OSGi bundle coming from Maven in a p2 repository that we can consume with Tycho and Eclipse later. See https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-locus/blob/master/site/pom.xml

HTH.
