I'm evaluating Tycho as a potential solution for our plug-in/RCP build
problems. I would like to state our requirements and see if any of them
can not be met with the current state of Tycho.
We develop multiple related plugins and features and package them up as
both an update site (2 update sites, actually) and an RCP application.
We need to be able to do automated, headless builds initiated by any
check-in to our CVS repository.
We have a target platform checked in to CVS that includes the Eclipse
SDK package along with a bunch of other features/plugins; everything can
be built and exported from the Eclipse IDE.
Can Tycho meet these needs (build plugins, features, update sites, and RCP)?
Incidentally, I tried running tycho against our code, following the
example at
http://blogs.sonatype.com/people/2008/11/building-eclipse-pl ugins-with-maven-tycho/
but produced tons of output and eventually failed. I'm not sure if the
failure was due to Tycho not being able to handle our needs, or just
mistakes in the setup or usage.

Eric,
Tycho should be able to do what you need, at least at the high level as
you describe it. The devil is in the details, of course, so I wonder if
you can post build log here (maybe rerun with -X to be sure) or email it
to me directly?

Thanks for the offer. I really just wanted to know if Tycho is currently
capable of the things we need to do, so you've already helped me by
answering that. At least now I can present it to management as a
possible solution.
At the moment I don't have the time to experiment in any more detail;
after the current milestone of our product is outs I might get
permission to spend some real time on this; at that point I'll post with
logs and details.
Thanks,
Eric
