Tycho doesn’t have a plugin to create a composite repo index. But Eclipse does have Ant tasks to add/remove entries to a composite repo,

 

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Ant_Tasks#Composite_Repository_Task

 

We currently use maven’s antrun plugin to create an Ant build file, then use Tycho’s eclipse-run plugin to run org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner on the generated file, and that produces the compositeArtifacts and compositeContent files.

 

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Additional_Tools#tycho-eclipserun-plugin

 

The site and the composite site are then uploaded to our server together.

Hi Tycho Users,

 

I'd like to generate a composite repository for the plugin I'm working on. During the maven build an update site is generated. Manually creating a composite repository does not seem to be very difficult (considering that I need only 4 locations to refer to), but I'd like to automate it.

One option would be using templates and replace placeholders during the maven build, but I was wondering if there's a different/recommended way to achieve the same result using Tycho.

 

Thanks,

 Andras
