Re: [tycho-user] Target vs repository

[Simon Scholz <simon.scholz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For me the best tool to provide 3rd party dependencies as p2
reposiotories is https://github.com/stempler/bnd-platform.

For example I use it to provide the Retrofit rest client library for
OSGi apps in the build.gradle file here:
https://github.com/vogellacompany/openreq/tree/master/eclipse/dependencies

Best regards,

Simon
