Re: [tycho-user] Third party jars dependency for RCP application

[Ekta Malviya <ekta.malviya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot Mickael.

 

I was able to generate a P2 repository locally using the third party bundles, and added the local repository in pom.xml. Am able to export my product using Tycho now. J

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ekta

Are these jars OSGi bundles? Do they have p2 metadata available somewhere?
If they are OSGi bundles with p2 metadata, just add the p2 repository to your target-platform.
If they are OSGi bundles without p2 metadata, you should read http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/How_Tos/Dependency_on_pom-first_artifacts . With that, you can create a p2 repository for a given set of bundles without p2 metadata, and consume this repository later with Eclipse/p2/Tycho.
If they are not OSGi bundles, you'll need to either wrap them in OSGi bundles including the lib and re-exporting its packages, or repackage them as OSGi bundles (and build them like regular bundles).
