Igor Federenko and Euguene Kuleshov have done some work in this area. We use Maven to build the m2eclipse Eclipse plugin, and Igor's working on something called Tycho which should be able to bridge the gap. Igor told me to point you toward this demo script. It might be a little out of date: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Tycho+technology+demo+script#Tychotechnologydemoscript-Openquestions For an overview of the Tycho project look here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Tycho+project+overview Eugene says that the best place to ask questions is this newsgroup: news://news.eclipse.org:119/eclipse.technology.m2e I'll probably blog about this some time tomorrow, and try to put together a quick demo/screencast. > > > There seems to be no really automated build system for Eclipse > plugins/products, even when using maven you have to install and update > the dependencies manually (the Eclipse artifacts are not deployed to a > maven repository). > > I hope most of these Eclipse-related problems will be resolved in a > year > from now or so, but at the moment manual builds actually looks like a > good alternative to me. > > At the moment I have working exports of Neoclipse as an Eclipse > plugin, > and as Linux and Windows products.
