Hello,
We are trying to learn how we may be able to have a first Tycho build from different source repos deploy artifacts into binary repository and have a second Tycho build consume that. Standard Maven stuff really... ;-)
Is my understanding correct that, when using Tycho, one cannot (impossible) somehow mvn deploy individual plugins features to a (say local or remote, e.g. Nexus) Maven repo to consume them from another build, as in normal Maven?
From what I gathered, the way people to do this is that you deploy a (ZIP of) an eclipse-repository, and then re-serve this from a remote Nexus repository? This isn't possible with local ~/.m2/repository - right?
A completely different thought that occured to me was to have a go at this from another angle: If you used git submodules to checkout out different Tycho based projects and then built them together, you wouldn't have this problem.. I've heard / read about git submodules but not yet tried used them - any opinions about this? The additional advantage to this would be that you could "feature branch" such different projects together - if I understand submodules correctly.
Thank you!
Michael
