Use the Orbit P2 repository and add it as one of the P2 repositories
for Tycho to look at when resolving dependencies.

Thanks. I see the message "Using compile source roots from
build.properties", guess my trouble was that the old ant files
weren't being parsed properly. have renamed them to antbuild.*,
and copied a basic PDE build.properties file in it's place. That
took care of the "no code to compile" issue.
Now I just need to figure out getting Orbit bundles recognized and
compiled against.

Eric,
Tycho uses the build.properties file and the MANIFEST.MF files
produced by the PDE plugins. If you have items setup there, it
will use the information from the build.properties files to
identify where the source folders are.

Chris,
Sorry about the delay replying. I didn't see your reply until
I got back from vacation, and have just got back into the
swing of things with this particular project.

What do you mean "auto-generate" ?
I believe most projects at eclipse.org are using
the manifest-first approach with Tycho... so things just
work. Are you expecting your MANIFEST.MF's to be
generated also?
by "auto-generate" I was referring to the automatic generation
of the POM files. For multiple (some as yet unidentified)
reasons, Tycho was only generating a minimal POM file. It
specified the Tycho plugin, modules, and basic project tags,
however could not build because maven found no source, test
source, or manifest.
After further experimentation it seems that the project files
are parsed for some of the metadata for POM generation
(manifest location for instance, but not the source tree),
however, I'm still having to walk through the POM syntax and
manually modify the POM in order to get maven to compile the
code (This was NOT the case in the example). It appears that
this is the result of our project not using PDE to build, and
relying upon an external Ant process for the production build.
I am surmising that my troubles are the result of the PDE
project files not containing key pieces of metadata.
Furthermore, the documentation for Maven 3.0/Tycho is fairly
sparse, so I've had to rely upon examples and experimentation
to make progress. These were the initial reasons for my
query... so I could look at the POM files generated for other
projects and thereby cobble together something that would work
with our existing project structure.
The purpose of this exercise is to evaluate whether we could
utilize Tycho to generate our OSGi bundles with a
"manifest-first" approach with minimal impact upon our overall
build process, and to identify what will need to change in our
project structure and processes. Secondary to the above is to
determine the feasibility, and desirability for incrementally
migrating the rest of our processes over to Maven.
I appear to have a build functioning well enough that I am now
failing due to missing dependencies (which are all local to
the target platform, but many are not in any P2, or Maven
repository). I'm working on putting them into a local P2 to
make headway. In general I am confident that we could use
Tycho, the question now is what will it take to do so.
