Ok so first step is to make the TychoDemo work and then somehow use Thycho to solve dependencies between the MANIFEST.MF file and the pom.xml file?

In short, there is no universally correct mapping between Maven and OSGi/Eclipse dependencies.

Transitive resolution works differently. OSGi import/export package and classpath visibility rules have no analog in Maven at all. To name a couple of differences. Besides, dependencies defined both in pom.xml and manifest.mf will be quite laborious to keep in sync for lager projects.

To do this the following dependencies are defined in the MANIFEST.MF file:

 org.eclipse.ui (3.5.0)
 org.eclipse.core.runtime (3.5.0)

So basically as I understand it should just be a matter of defining those dependencies in the pom.xml file, end of story.

Why go to greater lengths than  this?

Have a look at Tycho project [1], which provides set of Maven extensions and plugins to build PDE projects with Maven. In particular, look at sample application that shows P2-based target platform resolver.

I can't install Tycho based on your tutorial:

I just get:

I need to write plugin for the eclipse platform (adding a button to workbench etc.). I have looked at:

http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html

But since I am using Maven I was considering to use:

http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-plugins.html

But is that primary used for maven related plugins and not for plugins to the eclipse workbench?

import org.eclipse.core.commands.AbstractHandler;
import org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionEvent;
import org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindow;
import org.eclipse.ui.handlers.HandlerUtil;
import org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.MessageDialog;

I have found jface:

<dependency>
   <groupId>swt</groupId>
   <artifactId>jface</artifactId>
   <version>3.0m8</version>
</dependency>
