One of the biggest problems ist, that the pde-maven-plugin supports building of a product ok, But there is no easy way to build several plugins which depend on each other. I have to manage the dependencies twice and even then the build is quite erratic.
I would really like to use the tycho plugin build process which utilized the manifest to validate my plugins even thought I do not need the build results (jar etc) but the successful/failed state for each plugin project would be quite useful in a larger project setup! The thing with the newer versions: Do you mean with 2.1 3.0 or the next release on the 2.0.9 line? Ok it does not really matter any way: I will be able to force both into our build process but only if they are official releases and after they have proven their maturity. This means for the moment 2.0.9 at most! P.S: The helping thing :-) Well if I could use tycho in my current project setup I would certainly help ;-) Otherwise I have to follow the dev env how-to an look how easy it is to contribute to your project. But I can imagine to help because for the first time it looks like a real solution. (And because I can not always complain about the immaturity of maven and the eclipse integration of it an doing nothing about it :-)) On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 4:16 PM, Igor Fedorenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael, > > Tycho depends on some new functionality that was added (and is being added) > to maven 3.0 specifically to support alternative project model formats and > repository layouts.
