Robert Munteanu commented on SLING-6112:
----------------------------------------
In my opinion the right thing to do would be to rely on the bnd-maven-plugin
and not install the tycho-m2e feature at all. We're stuck with an old version
unfortunately.
This however comes with the drawback that
- we no longer support older versions of the maven-bundle-plugin
- we require users to configure newer versions of the maven-bundle-plugin for
correct execution
which is IMO a blocker at the moment. Not even the Sling project has moved to
the bnd-maven-plugin, and we are quite quick to adopt new stuff.
So in my opinion what would be good to have is to have this tycho-m2e feature
opt-in, rather than mandatory, so that it can be disabled/uninstalled by those
who don't want it, but it still works for those who (like me initially) have no
idea about old vs new maven-bundle-plugin and why the bnd-maven-plugin is good
to go. Not to mention those that can't migrate.
Thoughts?
> Make Sling IDE independent of m2e-tycho

> Key: SLING-6112

> Currently Sling IDE requires the installation of m2e-tycho. This was being
> added in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3608. Now that the
> maven-bundle-plugin ships with m2e support OOTB (FELIX-4009) we should get
> rid of that dependency.
> This is also important since newer versions of the maven-bundle-plugin
> conflict with that extension
> (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4009?focusedCommentId=15192263&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15192263).
