Re: [tycho-dev] From DependencyArtifacts to IU

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

p2 runs inside embedded equinox runtime and all p2 classes live in a
separate classloader not visible from maven plugins. Couple of ways to
avoid reflection in your case

Short term, you may be able to contribute new bundles to the embedded
equinox runtime from your maven plugin and have set of 'bridge'
interfaces visible both to your plugin and to your new bundle. I have
not tried this myself, so this may require some fixes to tycho or may
not be possible at all.

Long term, somebody ;-) told me that p2 does not really need to run
inside equinox runtime and can run in a standalone java app. I will
certainly be in faviour of a patch that will allow such use of p2 from
Tycho.
