Hello,
I'm working on a few Eclipse plug-ins at work that require me to use some external OSGi jars that aren't part of the eclipse, namely com.google.gson among others.

I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out the correct way to add the dependency of com.google.gson to my plugin project to make both eclipse and maven build.

I'm using tycho 0.12.0.

I have the Require-Bundle: com.google.gson entry in the plugins manifest, but tycho seems to hate that, which is quite puzzling. I also have com.google.gson listed in the plugin's pom.xml, but that doesn't seem to satisfy tycho at all.

I need to build in both eclipse (for local development and testing) and Maven (for nightly builds that happen on our build server).

Here is my parent pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>com.hemna.oo</groupId>
  <artifactId>foo</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>pom</packaging>

  <modules>
    <module>foo-plugin</module>
  </modules>

  <properties>
    <tycho-version>0.12.0</tycho-version>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>


  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
        <artifactId>tycho-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${tycho-version}</version>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
	<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
	<artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId>
	<version>${tycho-version}</version>

	</configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

           <url>URL to indigo...forum wouldn't let me leave the real url here....</url>
       </repository>
   </repositories>



</project>




And here is the plugin that needs gson

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <parent>
    <artifactId>foo-plugin</artifactId>
    <groupId>com.hemna.oo</groupId>

  </parent>
  <groupId>com.hemna.oo.foo</groupId>
  <artifactId>com.hemna.oo.foo.shared</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>eclipse-plugin</packaging>
  <dependencies>
  	<dependency>
  		<groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
  		<artifactId>gson</artifactId>
  		<version>1.7.1</version>
  	</dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

I have tried looking at the tycho examples, but they are useless. They don't have any examples of a working eclipse plugin that uses an external OSGi jar like gson.

What I want to be able to do is have maven pull the dependency down from the <dependency> entry in the pom, and then use that when referencing the manifest.mf entries to resolve them.
This seems like a very basic missing capability with Tycho?

What is the proper way to get Eclipse and maven/Tycho building properly, so I don't have to manually pull down external jars, then tell eclipse to use that jar at build time and then do something else for maven build time.

I have the gson jar in my local ~/.m2 cache already
me@dev:~/devel/:(maindev)$ ls -al ~/.m2/repository/com/google/code/gson/gson/1.7.1/
total 604

that url is useless. It doesn't contain build eclipse plugins. Nor does it talk about pulling in external osgi jars from maven dependencies that are then packaged into the eclipse plugin project. Sad

Luiz E. I'm about to give up on tycho. It seems rather useless to me.
