This looks a lot like https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/issues/725
( https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.md#caution-when-switching-between-tycho-versions
) . You might be able to solve it by just using something like -
Dmaven.repo.local=$(pwd)/.m2 so that the project using the old Tycho
version is isolated from location of newer one.
