Re: [tycho-user] Converting a P2 update-site into a maven repository

Tycho does not convert p2 repositories to Maven. Instead, it makes
p2/osgi dependency resolution logic available for Maven plugins.

There are couple of efforts that try to make p2->maven conversion, that
I am aware of, but such conversion is fundamentally an approximation and
I believe there are always be cases when resulting maven repository will
not produce desired dependencies. This does not mean the result is
useless, however ;-)

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating different approaches to setup a large-scale
code repository for Eclipse Code Recommenders. The upcoming
Eclipse/Sonatype's Aether dependency management tool seems to be a good
fit to resolve dependencies between (maven) artifacts. I'd also like to
analyze osgi bundles and resolve these dependencies with Aether. Since
Aether supports only Maven repositories out of the box, the simplest
approach would be to merge P2 update sites into a local maven repository.

Since tycho seems to do something similar, I'd like to ask whether there
is a simple way to convert a P2 update site to a maven repository - or
even better to merge a P2 update-site into a local Maven repository -
maybe with tycho?

If this can be done with tycho, is there a solution to deal with OSGI
package imports?

Thanks,
Marcel
