Re: [tycho-user] m2e PDE extension and Tycho

[Christoph Läubrich <laeubi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lars,

if you provide a dependency scope, see [1] for a screenshot, 
dependencies are included for the selected artifact.

This simply adds all dependencies as individual bundles, my goal for the 
long-term is that this will also generate an appropriate feature, then 
even artifacts of type pom (that are often used to pull in a bunch of 
related dependencies) can be used.

But as there is currently no funding for this feature from any of my 
customers I can't give a schedule for this, so the whole maven 
integration story is more personal concern as these round-trips as you 
described has often bugged me in the past while developing with 
PDE/Tycho :-)
