A short update:
Until now, I just failed to get the build process working with Tycho. As
far as I know right now, Tycho can only resolve dependencies which
artifacts are bundles, and there is a workaround for bundles that are
built with a pom-first approach
(https://docs.sonatype.org/display/TYCHO/Dependency+on+pom-first+artifacts).
The situation is as follows:
- uimaj-textmarker: normal maven project (no bundle) with the
implementation of the rule language
- uimaj-ep-textmarker-engine: plugin project built pom-first (felix)
that publishes the implementation of uimaj-textmarker
- uimaj-ep-textmarker-ide: plugin project built manifest-first (tycho)
that depends, for example, on the uimaj-textmarker
Right now, the uimaj-ep-textmarker-ide project cannot resolve
dependencies to the implementations that are only published by a plugin,
e.g., uimaj-ep-textmarker-engine or uimaj-ep-runtime. Maybe I've done
something wrong here...
Tycho is good at resolving dependencies for p2 repositories, but maybe
not robust enough for mixed projects. I'll read and try some more stuff,
but I am not very confident. If there is no progress at all, I'll write
the felix and tycho developers for some advice.
Has anyone an idea?

+1, I hope it works better than our felix based approach.

Hello,
I asked the DLTK developers about best practices for building
DLTK-based projects with maven and they (strongly) recommended Tycho
(http://www.eclipse.org/tycho/). I think - compared to felix - it's
just the other way around where maven uses the dependencies specified
in the manifest.
Are there any known reasons against using Tycho?
If not, then I would give it a try because it will probably solve my
problems with the (eclipse-based) artifacts.
