Thanks Igor for your answer. Importing m2e-eclipse projects in
eclipse I could see how convenient is m2e-tycho, auto transforming
those pom first bundle projects into "real" bundles.
Now, if I understand correctly, as an Eclipse plugin Manifest first
developer, m2e-tycho is just useful to shutdown m2e errors messages
about "I don't know what is an eclipse-plugin/eclipse-feature
packaging".
Even more, still as an Eclipse plugin Manifest first developer, since
I have to rely on PDE target platform resolver, the only value added
by m2eclipse is to provide me with the "Run as Maven ..." contextual
menus.
Dependency resolution is only one aspect of Maven integration provided
by m2e and m2e-tycho. Build lifecycle mapping is another big part of m2e
functionality and it is fully supported for manifest-first projects. For
example, m2e uses code generation provided by modello (maven) plugin and
this works completely transparently inside Eclipse workspace.
