Here's one more special case.

When mapping into Maven coordinates, how should I distinguish a feature Jar from a plugin Jar.
Both can have the same name. E.g. I got here
features/org.eclipse.cdt_5.0.1.200902060733.jar
 plugins/org.eclipse.cdt_5.0.1.200902060733.jar
What's the most "standard-ish" way?


Why wouldn't you just call it

org.eclipse.cdt.plugin_XXX
and
org.eclipse.cdt.feature_XXX

?

Plugin: artifactId = bundleId
Feature: artifactId = bundleId + "-feature"
?

Thanks!

Thanks for this clarification. artifactId == bundleId made the most sense to me as well.

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.


+1

The convention of artifactId == bundleId is what I've agreed on with Peter Kriens and I'm sure we'll just decide this is the case at the OSGi tooling summit.

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.
