Re: [tycho-user] Using the "jdt" compiler and setting up access rules

I'm exploring options for how one could go about marking which packages/classes are supported vs non-supported from a product support perspective.

OSGI Access rules are normally used for expressing API concerns and read directly from the bundle but when I realized eclipse JDT actually can apply
this to *any* jar it suddenly became interesting to try use it for this.

But it should be something that could be applied to the default maven java compiler setup so you could apply it to specific jars or all of the code being compiled.

But then the rules wouldn't be applied to the tycho builds afaics ?
