I originally hoped that some clever naming scheme would allow resolution of Eclipse/OSGi dependencies from Maven repositories. Unfortunately, I could not come up with such a scheme and eventually convinced myself it was not possible (but I'd be happy to be proved wrong here).

I still believe artifactId == bundleId convention makes sense, but it is not enforced in Tycho.

I would also use OSGi versions (i.e., major.minor.micro) and use -SNAPSHOT in manen and .qualifier in OSGi. Again, this is not enforced in Tycho.

Apart from than, I would just follow Maven best practices.

Hi Igor,

would you have any pointer or insight into how to best map OSGi bundle / Eclipse plugin names into Maven coordinates?
I find a lot of confusing discussion.
I see this posting from Jason
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-dev/200805.mbox/%3c69ecb380-90d7-4718-bd2d-a0e22a85b...@maven.org%3e
which makes a lot of sense to me, but on the other hand I see
http://repo1.maven.org/eclipse/org/eclipse/ following
http://www.jroller.com/carlossg/entry/eclipse_jars_now_in_maven

I need to populate my internal group repository with Eclipse artifacts and I would like to follow the most "standard" naming as much as possible.
