Dependencies tab missing for mavenized par project [message #976020]

As we build everything with maven I also made a maven module that only contains a par manifest file. When creating an eclipse project for this one-file project with a 'mvn eclipse:eclipse', importing it in eclipse, and adding the 'EclipseRT Par' Facet I'm unable to add any bundles to this par as the 'dependencies' tab is missing from the manifest editor. Is there any way to make it appear? A related question: where are such dependencies physically stored? This is a rare situation where you change something in a manifest editor without seeing any impact to the manifest.mf file ...

The dependencies page is an EMF based editor that writes its own model out to a separate file. Unfortunately you're doing something that the tools never anticipated, which is working with a par project that wasn't created with the tools!

Okay, here's the answer to your question. The tools want to find a "org.eclipse.virgo.ide.runtime.core.par.xml" file under YourPar/.settings. As far as I can tell, there's no way to create one of these files on its own, so you'll want to use the tools to generate a new par project and copy the file into the .settings directory of your Mavenized par projects. You should then be able to open the PAR Manifest editor upon your manifest or even upon the *par.xml file and add your dependencies that way.
