Hi,
Thanks Mickael for pushing this and sorry for the late reply!
I've started to look at your changes and have a few questions:
* is there a good reason why the pom.xml has been moved to a module
instead of keeping it in the root pom.xml/directory?
* can you give some insight what "remove-xz" and "add-aliens" do or why
they are necessary?
* how did you create the category.xml file? (side note: I opened the
category.xml file with the category.xml-editor and the opening alone
re-wrote/re-formated the whole file.)
* According to the comment, the list of repositories in the pom.xml file
was generated with the CBI aggregator tool. Was that only necessary for
the initial list? What would a new project need to add and where? Only
add bundle/feature to the category.xml and add the repository to the
pom.xml?
* is there still a way to only validate changes like the "validate" profile?
If we want to switch to Tycho for the 2020-03 release, we will need to
put some documentation in place for existing and new users what needs to
be changed and done.
Regards,
Fred
