MAT dependency [message #1794375]

I building MAT with maven and wondered how to add an external dependency to it (such as guava or other).
From some reason editing the pom file and adding the relevant dependencies from maven central don't work. The dependency does being downloaded, but the import fails.
The only work around for this (which was a bad one) was to create a .classpath file to point on the
downloaded jar (within the .m2 directory).
I know that MAT's build.sh is setting a specific repository and not using the default one.
I have tried both using it as is and removing the locally configured repository, but remained with the same issue.

Appreciate any help/pointers with it

I can't help much with this as Krum set up the Maven build, and I just use it. MAT uses p2 to get its dependencies for the target platform.

The target platform includes:

Eclipse Photon
Eclipse Orbit
IBM DTFJ - just for building the MAT DTFJ plugin, but not shipped
SWTBot - for testing

You could look at a build log to see how a normal build works:

Perhaps making Guava as a p2 repo would help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17230348/is-there-a-official-p2-repository-for-the-google-guava-library

There is a Wiki page Building MAT With Tycho but it doesn't answer your question.

How would your final product be packaged? Would the external dependency be a jar built into an Eclipse bundle - or would it be another bundle?
