Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] [tycho-user] Generating composite repository
Tycho doesn’t have a plugin to create a composite repo index. But Eclipse does have Ant tasks to add/remove entries to a composite repo,
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Ant_Tasks#Composite_Repository_Task
We currently use maven’s antrun plugin to create an Ant build file, then use Tycho’s eclipse-run plugin to run org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner on the generated
file, and that produces the compositeArtifacts and compositeContent files.
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Additional_Tools#tycho-eclipserun-plugin
The site and the composite site are then uploaded to our server together.
Hi Tycho Users,
I'd like to generate a composite repository for the plugin I'm working on. During the maven build an update site is generated. Manually creating a composite repository does not seem to be very difficult (considering that I need only 4 locations
to refer to), but I'd like to automate it.
One option would be using templates and replace placeholders during the maven build, but I was wondering if there's a different/recommended way to achieve the same result using Tycho.
