Hi,

Hi,

 

We have a Eclipse RCP based application that is the core of our product.  Depending on the application, we need additional features to be installed on top of that RCP product.  We use tycho to build the RCP and the other extensions.  My question is simple.  How can I deploy automatically on top of that RCP product and create Package Solutions like the one available for Eclipse using tycho.  A built that builds on top of existing RCP and existing feature builds. 

The analogy with Eclipse is

Eclipse Standard 4.4 VS

-Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers

-Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers

-Eclipse Modeling Tools

Eclipse packages are actually built with Tycho and the code is open: http://git.eclipse.org/c/epp/org.eclipse.epp.packages.git/tree/

1 package == 1 product, eg http://git.eclipse.org/c/epp/org.eclipse.epp.packages.git/tree/packages/org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product/epp.product
