Re: [tycho-user] Filtering out optional features
Tobias,

Thank you for the input. It makes sense now. I will give the exclude from eclipse-repository method a try.

Thanks again,
Neil

There are two reasons why the feature is included in the product despite the optionalDependencies=ignore

 

1.       optionalDependencies=ignore only applies to the direct dependencies of the module’s artifact, i.e. the dependency from the product to feature A, but not the dependency from feature A to feature X.

2.       optionalDependencies=ignore is AFAIK not implemented for eclipse-feature modules. But even if it was, it wouldn’t help you due to point 1

 

Instead, you can archive what you want by excluding feature X from the target platform of your eclipse-repository module. There is a stackoverflow question covering this case: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12372269/eclipse-rcp-built-by-tycho-includes-unwanted-optional-dependencies

Just giving this a slight bump, has no one had a use case for optionally including features in a product build...possibly based on a profile.

Would it be normal to just have different products with different feature sets?

Hello Everyone,

I have a product that is based on Feature A. Inside Feature A is FeatureX. Feature X is listed as optional.

I have included in the pom of FeatureA:

<plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
                <artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId>
                <version>${tycho-version}</version>
                <configuration>
                    <dependency-resolution>
                         <optionalDependencies>ignore</optionalDependencies>
                    </dependency-resolution>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>

But, FeatureX is still included in the final product. Is there a way to include/exclude optional features or does this only work on the plugin level.

Thanks,

Neil
