Re: [tycho-user] Trying to add a pom dependency to the target platform

Hi Steinar,

If I understand your issue you are trying to:

  1. Download a "classic", non-OSGi artifact from Maven Central
  2. Wrap this artifact as an OSGi bundle
  3. Use this artifact as a dependency of one of your bundles

Am I right?

I never tried to do this dynamically, but I think your are missing a few steps. According to the docs [1], the pomDependencies parameter considers only artifacts that already are OSGi bundles. Hence, you first have to wrap your dependencies as OSGi bundles. This can be done:

I believe that a project using the latter is easier to deal with because dependencies are explicit (i.e. one does not have to search through the POM files to find them) and because M2E is thus not required to build the project from Eclipse IDE. However it requires more work, especially when upgrading or adding new dependencies.

Regards,
Emmanuel

Platform: debian 10.0 "buster", amd64
          openjdk-11 11.0.4+11-1~deb10u1
          eclipse IDE 2019-06
          m2e 1.12.0.20190529-1916
          m2e tycho project configurations 0.8.1.201704211436
          maven 3.6
          tycho 1.4.0

I've done the following:
 1. Defined <pomDependencies>consider</pomDependencies> in the
    tycho-platform-configuration on the configuration POM
     https://github.com/steinarb/scratch/blob/modeler/add-neo4j-connection/releng/modeler.configuration/pom.xml#L51
 2. Added the dependency I wish to add to the target platform to the top
    POM
     https://github.com/steinarb/scratch/blob/modeler/add-neo4j-connection/pom.xml#L24
 3. Built the project with "mvn clean install"
 4. Imported the projects as maven projects into eclipse
 5. Tried adding the bundle to the import plugin in the MANIFEST.MF of
    the eclipse bundle project, but the neo4j bundle is not available
    there
     https://github.com/steinarb/scratch/blob/modeler/add-neo4j-connection/bundles/modeler.core/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF#L7

What am I missing for the org.neo4j.driver.neo4j-java-driver bundle to
become available in the MANIFEST.MF editor of the modeler.core project?

Thanks!
