That's a solution. Depending on your use-case, it can be good or not.Does this mean I have to convert 20 jars to "plugins" and host them in parallel on my update site (so they can be in MANIFEST.MF) In general, with OSGi (independently of Tycho), either 1. your dependencies are other bundles/plugins, with their MANIFEST.MF correctly set; or 2. they can be jars embedded into a bundle/plugin, with the Bundle-Classpath pointing to the embedded jars in the MANIFEST.MF of the host plugin. If you want to get the latest version of your deps on every build, you could use a corollary of 2.: put the jars in a plugin, setting correctly the Bundle-Classpath, and at build-time retrieve your dependencies using a maven-dependency-plugin:get and/or maven-dependency-plugin:copy-dependencies plugin in your pom.xml to execute the fetch and copy of your deps into your host bundle.Would love to SEE a real example of how any of you have solved this obvious/day 1 problem heh HTH |
