| Re: [tycho-user] I need help with third party Maven repos |
So, basically I'll need to create a new Maven-project with two folders(?) inside, the pomfirst-bundle and pomfirst-thirdparty, and then to turn it into a plugin project? Using the given link I have downloaded the example from git, but it is not retaining the correct structure. What should be build01 and build02?
As I can understand the build02 contains the parent pom.xml for all of them. If I intend to build a feature-based RCP4 application (using Vogella's model) do I need to use the existing parent pom.xml of application.product for that purpose?
I am really sorry, but with Maven everything lies in details, and the demo is not quite expressive.So if I had an RCP application with following structure:
-application.main-application.aggregator-application.product-application.feature-application.plugin1-application.plugin2-application.plugin3.....I would need to create a new Maven project, with pomfirst-bundle and pomfirst-thirdparty?Then I see that bundle contains a class PomFirst.java which practically wraps the remote class org.codehaus.plexus.util.StringUtils. Does that mean that I have to wrap each class the same way in order to be accessible from my application.plugin2?Does the application.plugin2 takes the role of tycho.demo.itp02.bundle?As Jason says, will I be able to insert MyWrappedClass.java into application.plugin2-s class code instead of remote MyClass.java?I am sorry, but for me it is better to ask than to seek in vain.Thank you for the answers!Csaba2015-03-24 18:15 GMT+01:00 Jason van Zyl <jason@xxxxxxxxx>:Note that with the wrapper bundle technique you do not need to install anything into your local repository. Everything works from within the workspace.

Am I right that the concept would be creation of a local Maven project, which could be seen by the RCP project, and wrapping the required distant objects into local ones? In that way, the RCP could reach the local Maven project, which could reach the distant classes through Maven. That local Maven would bridge the gap between local RCP and Maven-repo. Is this correct?

Could you provide me with information on how to declare these dependencies, and in which pom.xml, since I have a lot of them: for each plugin, for the feature, for the main app, and I have for aggregate.... A concrete solution would help a lot. For the second part:
