[tycho-user] Missing IUs in a repository

[Justin Georgeson <JGeorgeson@xxxxxxx>]

I have a 3^rd party which I've wrapped into bundle jars with bnd-maven-plugin, and created a feature and software site for them. I then have a second build using Tycho with a 1^st party feature including the 3^rd party feature, and publishing a software site. It is this site which is missing some IUs, specifically the 3^rd party plugins included in the 3^rd party feature. The 3^rd party feature jar is archived into the repository, just not the plugins. The content.xml clearly shows that the 3^rd feature group depends on the 3^rd party plugins, and the Maven output shows it downloaded the 3^rd plugins along with the 3^rd party feature when resolving the target platform of the 1^st party feature.

 

I suspect it has something to do with the packaging of the 3^rd party feature and 3^rd party repository. Because I want to have a single build that performs the OSGI wrapping of the plugins and packaging into feature and software site, and not being able to mix pom and manifest projects in a single reactor, I'm not using eclipse-feature and eclipse-repository packaging types for the 3rd party build. For the feature I'm using a regular jar project with the feature.xml in src/main/resources, with filtering to substitute the qualifier.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<feature id="com.example.3rdparty.feature" label="Example 3rd Party feature" version="${project.version}" provider-name="Example">

    <plugin id="com.example.3rdparty" download-size="0" install-size="0" version="0.0.0" unpack="false"/>

    <plugin id="com.example.3rdparty.extra" download-size="0" install-size="0" version="0.0.0" unpack="false"/>

    <plugin id="com.example.3rdparty.linux.gtk.x86_64" os="linux" ws="gtk" arch="x86_64" fragment="true" download-size="0" install-size="0" version="0.0.0" unpack="false"/>

    <plugin id="com.example.3rdparty.win32.win32.x86_64" os="win32" ws="win32" arch="x86_64" fragment="true" download-size="0" install-size="0" version="0.0.0" unpack="false"/>

</feature>

 

For the repository I'm using a pom project which uses dependency:copy to stage the feature jar and plugin jars in target/source then calls tycho-p2-extras-plugin:publish-features-and-bundles goal to generate the P2 site. I've confirmed with the p2.director application that this site has the correct dependencies listed from feature.group to feature.jar and all the plugins. I've further used p2.director application to install the feature.group to a dummy folder and all the plugins are provisioned at the destination as expected.

 

It's just when Tycho is creating the 1^st party software site (category.xml includes 1^st party feature, 1^st party feature includes 3^rd party feature) that the 3^rd party plugins are not added.

 

If I include the 3^rd party plugins directly in my 1^st party feature, or if I set includeAllDependencies to true in my final software site, then the 3^rd party plugins are included in the final software site.

 

Any hints on what I might have missed in my 3^rd party feature/site that Tycho seems to consider the 3^rd party plugins as required instead of included.
