Re: [tycho-user] [cross-project-issues-dev] Using maven artifacts direct

Hi

Improving the Maven compatibility is certainly a good idea, but for my (small number of) users the problem is the other way round. How to make Eclipse standalone project releases easily consumable by Maven.

https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1097672/1826580/#msg_1826580 is an attempt by a user to contribute.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=562307 is my fruitless attempts to actually publish via https://repo.eclipse.org although I gather that is now going out of fashion.

As a naive traditional Eclipse releng I have successfully struggled to keep the P2 builds going. I see P2-to-Maven as a generic capability that the EF (or some skilled contributor) should solve on behalf of the community. As with downloads, when everyone does their own thing, it takes a lot of effort to produce an inconsistent mess.

    Regards
