Is there a standard way to integrate SMILA Plug-In development (as described here wiki.eclipse.org/SMILA/Development_Guidelines/Create_a_bundle_%28plug-in%29) with Maven?

I found a way to generate the MANIFEST.MF which includes the Maven-Dependencies and it works, but its more a workaround...

Has anyone ever done Plug-In Development with Maven?

No, sorry, we did not use Maven with SMILA yet.
But if you manage to make it work, it would be great if you could add a
how-to
description to the SMILA wiki (-:

hi,

are u talking about normal/vanilla maven or the tycho build?

we have tried the latter *a little bit* but gave up on it as it involved
too many changes in smila and some things we couldnt get to work --
which might, in all likelihood, was due to the fact of limited
understanding/knowledge of tycho and resources willing to commit to the
area.

Hi there,

as Tom stated, working with Maven and Equinox is pain in the ass. We hooked our libraries in via svn externals - a bit tricky, but if one is aware of that it works like charm.

Another way of handling dependencies is Buckminster. Here you can use repositories of various different technologies to get your dependencies (M2 and Ivy repos for example).

Give it a try Wink

Could you please provide us some details (or even better create a Wiki
page under http://wiki.eclipse.org/SMILA/HowTo) so that we and the rest
of the community can profit from it?

Cheers

Hi@all,

my last post is quite a while old - and a lot of things have changed. I moved to a new project/employer and am now in the lucky position to work with Eclipse/OSGI again.

One of my first task was to provide a headless build environment for the project we are working on here. I tried PDE Headless and also gave Buckminster a glimpse - until I stumbled over Eclipse Tycho (http://www.eclipse.org/tycho/) again.
This project provides Maven plugins for OSGI/RCP specific tasks - and it's very easy to use. The project structure stays the same, dependencies are gathered from MANIFEST.MF and plugin.xml

All you need is a parent project that bequests the settings to the child projects/modules. "Tripping hazard": The artifact-id and plugin-id, maven-version and plugin-version have to be the same. Thats all. It has cost me half a day to convert all fragments to maven projects and now it works like charm Smile

Thank you Martin for sharing your experience with us!

Is there any chance that you write this down on a Wiki-Page (e.g.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SMILA/HowTo/Maven_Build) and post a link in user
and/or dev mailing list so that also the rest of the community can
profit from it?

Cheers
Igor

I'll do my very best.

When I am finished writing that part of the documentation in our wiki, I'll contribute it Smile
