Hi,
I developed a eclipse plugin(RCP application). Now I need to do a maven build for this.
Does anyone know how I can create pom file with all dependecies.
I am very new to maven and not an expert in RCP too.

Thanks

Maven 2?

Look at
*
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Building+Eclipse+ RCP+and+RCP-based+Applications
* http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Eclipse+Plugin

I have fully automated my RCP application build via Maven 2.
* creates an Eclipse Target Platform
* builds all plugins (need to find a way to only build one plugin)
* builds the RCP application bundle

The actual RCP build process is done via a Maven plugin that fires off a
RCP PDE build via Ant.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I went through the links you have sent. This solution is nice, but won't work for my project. My project is an open source project, in which people from many organizations, spread across all over the world are working. So we can't have a internal repository in one organization for this. We need the eclipse plugins in maven central repository for everybody to build this RCP.

Thanks,
Bhupendra

There is work being done to get the Eclipse code base into a repository.

Each person can run eclipse:make-artifacts without the "deployTo"
parameter. This will seed their local m2 repository with the right
artifacts.

Yes it is a manual step everyone needs to do, but it is a short term
measure.
