[news.eclipse.technology.m2e] Re: [tycho] build problem (org.eclipse.jdt

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andras,

This is what I use to build p2-related Tycho projects (see [1] for the 
full pom)


  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.tycho</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-osgi-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <extraClasspathElements>
            <extraClasspathElement>
              <groupId>org.sonatype.tycho</groupId>
              <artifactId>tycho-p2-facade</artifactId>
              <version>${project.version}</version>
            </extraClasspathElement>
          </extraClasspathElements>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>


This works with (unannounced) 0.3.0-DEV-2146 and current 0.4.0 builds 
but I am not sure we will keep this syntax long term.

Please open enhancement request in JIRA [2] if you need Tycho to honour 
jars.extra.classpath from build.properties.
