Does someone know a way to use the headless B3 capabilities as part of a Maven build? Maybe someone has written a Maven plugin which can leverage the B3 engine?
Thanks
Klaus

I would very appreciate asuch solution. We're deploying our own eclipse plugins to maven repo and building an aggregate updatesite. Doing it manually is horible ...

I found at least a workaround based on Tycho's eclipse-run plugin. This can be used to call the Eclipse application org.eclipse.b3.cli.headless in a separate shell. This looks like this in pom.xml:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho.extras</groupId>
        <artifactId>tycho-eclipserun-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${tycho-version}</version>
       	<executions>
           <execution>
              <goals>
                    	<goal>eclipse-run</goal>
              </goals>
              <phase>compile</phase>
           </execution>
       	</executions>
        <configuration>
                <appArgLine>-application org.eclipse.b3.cli.headless aggregate --buildModel yourfile.b3aggr</appArgLine>
            	<dependencies>
                    	<dependency>
                        	<artifactId>org.eclipse.b3.aggregator.engine.feature</artifactId>
                        	<type>eclipse-feature</type>
                    	</dependency>
                </dependencies>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

A prerequisite is that the dependency to org.eclipse.b3.aggregator.engine.feature can be found.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I just noticed the update site
at .../modeling/emft/b3/updates-4.2/

I assume that's for installing into 4.2.2?

Is that were new fixes and features go?

I'm thinking I need to update the instructions at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Simrel/Contributing_to_Simrel_Aggregation_Build#Install_the_b3_Aggregator

Indeed. I'm trying to free up some time for tasks like that.

Hmm, sorry. Read too quickly and didn't see the "I'm thinking I need"
part. Anyway, I've updated the URL to the update site.

you may want to update the link also on this page:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/b3/download/

:)

Yes, I would like to do that but I don't find the source for that page.
I think it used to reside in CVS but I have no idea where it's picked up
now. Embarrassing :-)

David, do you know?

In general, you can "see" websites that have migrated to git here:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/

But, off hand I didn't see b3 there. I believe the webmasters have been
migrating those "on demand", so you might open a bug on Foundation, and
simply point to where it used to be in cvs (or, where it is on website)
and they'll port it over for you.

Thanks for updating the wiki.

The b3 web site has now been moved to Git updated. It's link was also
changed so you can access it directly from the eclipse root:

http://www.eclipse.org/b3

Thanks Lorenzo for pointing out that it needed to be updated and thanks
David for instructions how to "find" it :-)
