| Re: [tycho-user] Please, make Tycho 1 more Maven friendly |
Sorry my last mail came late to the discussion. At EclipseCon we also had some discussions about publishing the Eclipse Platform artifacts in repositories that can be consumed by Gradle for example. Not sure about the current state.
"Tycho is now the only way to build Eclipse projects."
This is definitely not true as you can see in several projects that don't like the PDE project layout.
The purpose of Tycho from my point of view is to support automated builds of projects in PDE or p2 project layout which is Manifest centric. If you like the Maven or Java project layouts more you should look for the bnd maven plugins as already suggested. When talking about plugin development with generated manifest files I'd suggest to move to bndtools anyway.
That said, the real issue is already in the project layout and not in the build tool.

Actually, as a Tycho user, I really like the Eclipse-centric approach and I think Tycho correctly maps the needs of Eclipse developers.
For these use-cases, most of your proposals actually sound like addition of a lot of complexity: generating MANIFEST, resolving against some other kinds of repositories, changing some versioning habits... All that is IMHO far from what most current Tycho users are wanting.
What you suggest would probably be better as an alternative project than an improvement to Tycho. And it seems to me that your ideas are already mostly covered by bnd maven plugins and others.
Cheers,
