Re: [tycho-user] Running a custom plugin before

[Niels Nielsen <niels.nielsen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When faced with a similar problem, I have most often build a maven plugin to calculate qualifier, version number etc and publish it as a pom propery.
Binding this to the initialize phase has usually done the trick for me.

I believe that should work too, unless I missed something in particular to tycho BuildQualifierMojo, which is slightly different? In which case I agree with Igor :-)

Can't you calculate context qualifier in a shell script and pass it as -DforceContextQualifier parameter to the build?
