Re: [tycho-user] Why is Tycho manifest-first?
|
Igor,
This crazy idea sounds so cool ;-)
That would be awesome !
It reminds of a war project (built with Maven) depending on OSGi bundles (built with Tycho) only published to p2 repositories...
Is there a way for this war project to consume those already built OSGi bundles ?
(for now I only use Tycho to build equinox plugins and features...)
Regards,
Anthony

Objet : Re: [tycho-user] Why is Tycho manifest-first?
FWIW, latest m2e-tycho lets you work on pom-first projects using Eclipse
PDE without additional overhead either, so I would not use this to
choose between pom-first and manifest first.
The real difference comes from dependencies. If most of project
dependencies come from p2 repositories, then manifest-first makes
dependency resolution easier, if not the only viable option. If,
however, all project dependencies are available from Maven repositories,
then pom-first works much better.
Developer background and personal preferences also play a role here.
Personally, I find it easier to have bundle manifest generated for me,
but I know other developers prefer maintaing manifests by hand. One
of the crazier ideas I recently had was to rework Eclipse Platform build
using pom-first approach, so that entire eclipse platform becomes
natively available from a Maven repository. I gave up on this idea
mostly because I did not see how to convince platform developers let a
tool generate bundle manifests for them.
