Hi Experts,
      
      
      I have a use case in which a plug-in project (PDE) needs to
        be build using maven.
      
      
      I am following these steps:
      
      
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      1. Created
        a simple plug-in project
      
      
      2. Ran
        following command to generate pom.xml :
      mvn org.sonatype.tycho:maven-tycho-plugin:generate-poms
        -DgroupId=tychodemo.grp
        -Dtycho.targetPlatform=C:/Work/IDEs/eclipse-jpaas-indogo-sr1-win64/
      
      
      Build success. Pom created using the above command.
      
      
      3. Ran
        following command for installation:
      mvn clean install
      
      
      Build Failed, [ERROR] Unknown packaging: eclipse-plugin @
        line 8, column 14 : Added Tycho related build in pom.xml
        (manually)
      This manual add was required since eclipse-plugin is not
        known to maven, and tycho being an extension of maven knows
        about it.
      
      
      <properties>
              <tycho-version>0.13.0</tycho-version>
           </properties>
        
           <build>
              <plugins>
                 <plugin>
                   
        <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
      
                     
        <artifactId>tycho-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>${tycho-version}</version>
                    <extensions>true</extensions>
                 </plugin>
              </plugins>
         </build>
      
      
      
      
      
      4. Ran
        following command : 
      mvn clean install
        -Dtycho.targetPlatform=C:/Work/IDEs/eclipse-jpaas-indogo-sr1-win64/
      
      
      Build Success.
      
      
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
      
      Now the build is done, is there a possibility I can eliminate
        the manual step of adding tycho related tags in 
      pom.xml as in step 3 above, and the complete build is
        achieved by just commands?
      
      
      Please let me know if you need more information.
      
      
      Any help is appreciated.
      
      
      Is there any Tycho Users list where i can post this question?
      
      
      Thanks & Regards,
      Piyush
