Greetings again. I am moving from a PDE/Ant based build into Tycho - so probably more questions will be forthcoming :)
Most of the conversion has been amazingly easy and understandable ( nice change from the mess that is PDE ). However, I am now encountering issues when trying to execute the tycho-p2-publisher-plugin:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-p2-publisher-plugin:0.21.0:publish-products (default-publish-products) on project com.xxx.product: Unable to locate the equinox launcher feature (aka delta-pack) -> [Help 1]

Now, I am not necessarily surprised by this error but need/want to understand how Tycho expects to resolve this dependency. The product I am building is based on a subset of Eclipse features/plugins - so when our clients point to our P2 repository, they get everything they need/can use from a single P2 repo (aka - they aren't pointing to "my" P2 repo + standard Eclipse repo). I am packaging the org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature in my P2 repository with our relevant/supported O/S fragments. I can see the launcher fragments & root IUs are downloaded in my Maven repository (under the p2 /osgi/bundle & /binary folders respectively). However, the org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature itself is NOT present in org/eclipse/update/feature directory. I'm guessing it is because the feature is not listed *product file describing the build. However, as this is really only a build-time dependency, I would prefer to not add it here.
Any help/insight would be appreciated. Also, if I am rambling and not making sense - let me know and I will happily address any further questions about my setup.
