Hi,
both, FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher and UpdateSitePublisher, seem to work,
but not without tears in my workspace. Maven does not complain about
compiling, but my Eclipse does sometimes. I assume that I still have
some personal disputes with Tycho and m2e...
It looks like it works, but I am not really convinced yet.
I uploaded the complete update site and the simple tycho project here:
http://people.apache.org/~pkluegl/update-site-test/
The update site is just a folder with all features, plugins, (...) and a
pom with the ant calls.
Just another note: If we apply something like this for the complete
update site, then this would also change the way how we merge the
complete update site (on the server) with the new partial one (built for
the release) since we apply something on it afterwards.
Best,
Peter

I don't know and I haven't tried it yet. However, Steven has indicated that
this will probably won't work:

This post looks like he was on the right track, but didn't realize that the
target/eclipse-update-site in the project uimaj-eclipse-update-site isn't the
update site, but rather a partial update site which has to "merged" with the
full update site.
Well, we can try to apply the FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher on the complete
update site and verify if Tycho is able to resolve the dependencies. I will
investigate this tomorrow.
There's a lot of out-of-date information on p2 repo building on the internet.
The site I think has the most correct / up-to-date info is
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2
Following that to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Getting_Started_for_Releng
there's a link to
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Publisher which describes multiple methods of
getting things set up for update sites. The variations seem to depend on what
you're starting with. If you have an old-style existing update site (with a
site.xml - which among other things has the category info), it can use that
(UpdateSite Publisher app). If you don't, you can just use the Features and
Bundles App, and then use the Category publisher to add the categories.
In both cases, the use of the siteOptimizer app to "compress" the jars, I
believe is no longer needed (and has been pointed out - that application is no
longer available in later Eclipse releases), because both the UpdateSite
publisher and Features and Bundles Publisher apps can do this compression (if
you specify compress).
I'm looking forward to hearing if FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher, run on the
complete Eclipse Update Site, will generate the info Tycho needs. If you have
time, it would also be good to test if running UpdateSite publisher on the
complete Eclipse update site also works.
