Re: [tycho-user] Tycho RCP starting point

Hi Gadi,

> These tutorials are out of date. I am looking for inside knowledge :)
Why do you consider our tutorials "out of date"?
IMHO they give you the insights you need to answer your questions.

> 1. Do I start from eclipse with a wizard or is there a maven archetype?
There is no maven archetype for Eclipse projects.
There are several wizards to create the different artifacts for an RCP
application.

> 2. Is there a Tycho installation for eclipse?
Tycho  is a maven plug-in so you just need to install the maven
tooling in Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/)
And there is also a tycho connector the different tycho packaging types.

For all the other questions please just read
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseTycho/article.html, which is
not out of date, and then come back in case you still have questions.

And we also offer trainings for your topic, which I highly recommend,
because according to your questions it seems that you need help to get
things going.

See http://www.vogella.com/training/eclipse/tycho.html and
http://www.vogella.com/training/eclipse/eclipsercp.html

Best regards,

Simon
