[tycho-user] tycho with non p2 dependencies?

["Walter A. Boring IV" <walter.boring@xxxxxx>]

Hello,
   I'm trying to comprehend the correct order of operations to get 
tycho to properly build my eclipse plugin project.   My project has an 
external dependency on com.google.gson 1.7.1, which is in maven 
central.   I added the Require-Bundle: 
com.google.gson;bundle-version="[1.7.0,2.0.0)"
in the MANIFEST.MF

Tycho can't resolve the dependency because com.google.gson doesn't live 
in the p2 (eclipse) repository.

[ERROR] Internal error: java.lang.RuntimeException: "No solution found 
because the problem is unsatisfiable.": ["Unable to satisfy dependency 
from com.me.oo.studio.shared 1.0.0.qualifier to bundle com.google.gson 
[1.7.0,2.0.0).", "No solution found because the problem is 
unsatisfiable."] -> [Help 1]
org.apache.maven.InternalErrorException: Internal error: 
java.lang.RuntimeException: "No solution found because the problem is 
unsatisfiable.": ["Unable to satisfy dependency from 
com.me.oo.studio.shared 1.0.0.qualifier to bundle com.google.gson 
[1.7.0,2.0.0).", "No solution found because the problem is unsatisfiable."]


If I add a dependency entry to the pom.xml and remove the entry from the 
MANIFEST.MF, then maven pulls down com.google.gson just fine, but the 
build still fails, but for different reasons.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal 
org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-compiler-plugin:0.13.0:compile (default-compile) 
on project com.hp.oo.studio.shared: Compilation failure: Compilation 
failure:

(at line 32):[-1,-1]
[ERROR] import com.google.gson.Gson;
[ERROR] ^^^^^^^^^^
[ERROR] The import com.google cannot be resolved
[ERROR]



I've been pulling my hair out for several days now trying to get maven 
to build my eclipse-plugin.   I need gson, and eclipse can build it fine 
when I add the entry in the MANIFEST.MF, but tycho hates it.


Help?
