Hi,
previously when we used the "target" dir that has an eclipse installation i could just patch some eclipse jars to get some bugs out from then and build a product against that target dir.
How to do that with tycho?
I have now 2 examples, 1 is the "org.eclipse.help.ui" plugin
That just doesn't really work like it should according to me
i patched the source code in a few places and rebuild the plugin
But the problem is how to let tycho know that it has to use that plugin?
that help.ui is a bit special..
because that implements the "org.eclipse.ui.helpSupport" extension point but there can be only one of them
the doc says of AbstractHelpUI:
* Note that the standard implementation of the help system UI is provided by
* the <code>"org.eclipse.help.ui"</code> plug-in. Since the platform can only
* make use of a single help system UI implementation, make sure that the
* platform is not configured with more than one plug-in trying to extend this
* extension point.
yeah right.. how to do that then?
Because i want of course the rest of the help, i only want to provide a better impl of the HelpUI
Problem is that i can't give that patched plugin a slightly different version.
Because then the whole eclipse.help.feature doesn't work (if my feature would include that bumbed version)
Is there somehow a tycho property where i can say get this plugin always from there?
(or that my local plugins are alway overwriting the once that come from p2 repositories)?
The other example is this bug:
i also kind of want to patch that myself, because no i have to wait for an 4.8 release to have that fixed...
But i encounter then the same problem.. how to force tycho to use that patched version and not the one from the p2 repo.
