So there will be some things to setup (e.g., a target platform, etc.)
You can have a look at this nice article http://mattiasholmqvist.se/2010/02/building-with-tycho-part-1-osgi-bundles/ to see how to do it There is also a github repo with all the examples that define the target platform, test bundles, update site, features, etc. (https://github.com/mattiasholmqvist/tychoexamples) > 2. what artifacts do we want to generate? > feature > p2 repository > update site > RCP application (or product) > XEclipse already has a feature build and a RCP version. For the update site I think the p2 repository is needed so I would say all of them :) > 3. what platforms and OSs we are going to support? > I can test linux (Fedora) and windows (windows 7) 32bit, but currently I > do not have access to 64bit OS or mac OS. > We can build for the three of them (Linux, Windows and MacOSX). For the testing this is a bit complicated... The only place where we could see some glitches, imho, is in the UI. But for this we can rely on user feedback and fix things on demand. The backend should work the same on every platform and should then be easily testable using Tycho's infrastructure. > 4.
