Hi there,

I've searched around fairly extensively for tutorials on how to set up
maven and tycho for an Eclipse RCP export, but haven't had a ton of luck.

I have an existing (unfortunately, very complicated) plugin-in based Java
program in eclipse.  Formerly, I was able to build using the Eclipse Export
feature, but that appears to be broken in a newer version of Eclipse, and
I've read Maven and Tycho are the "proper" way to export a build.

My question is, I already have plenty of Manifest files and plugin.xmls
that define all kinds of dependencies in the project, and I was wondering
if there is an easy way to hook Maven into those to build the project.

I have tried creating a simple pom.xml and trying to build (based on
section 5 of this tutorial
<https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseMaven/article.html#exercise-converting-a-java-project-create-with-eclipse-to-maven>),
but the "clean verify" fails.  One other thing I'm confused about is where
to create this pom.xml in the Eclipse Project Explorer.  Unlike normal java
programs I've worked with before, this source code has hundreds of
"projects" so there isn't one master project location.

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
