Dirk, thank you for the good explanation! This makes perfect sense.
As this Tycho feature is only available in the latest Tycho version,
which requires Java11, I will have to switch to our migration branch
(Eclipse, Tycho, Java ) to implement this. This branch will
unfortunately take some time to be delivered back to our main.
Best regards,
Ahmet

Hi,
In this scenario I would suggest to build the “core-utils” with plain
Maven and use the maven-bnd-plugin to generate the OSGi metadata
(MANIFEST.MF). This way your “core-utils” can be published to a Maven
repository directly as valid OSGi bundles without modifications afterwards.
Your Tycho builds can then consume the Maven artifacts directly by using
the m2e PDE Extension and Tycho 2.2.
BTW, Tycho would also use the bnd tooling for generating the OSGi
metadata on the fly. So you would only “win” the fact that you don’t
need to call that plugin yourself. But I personally think that if you
are in control of the build artifacts, you should use the
maven-bnd-plugin and publish correct OSGi bundles to a Maven repository
instead of publishing plain Maven.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

*Betreff:* [tycho-user] Produce artifacts consumable by Maven and Tycho
Hi,
what is the current best practice to build common artifacts that are
used in both Maven and Tycho builds?
Scenario:
Here is a scenario (all listed modules are build inhouse, except the one
called 3^rd -Party):
Let’s call the following modules our “core-utils”:
- Module1 (depends on)
-- Module2
-- Module3 (depends on)
--- 3^rd -Party
-- Module4
Module1 – Module4 (“core-utils”) are all required in our Tycho RCP Build
and in our Maven Builds (non-eclipse):
- tycho-rcp-build (depends on)
-- Module1
-- Module2
-- Module3
-- Module4
- maven-builds (depend on)
-- Module1
-- Module2
-- Module3
-- Module4
And now the big price question:
Which should be the leading build-system for these “core-utils” – Tycho
or Maven?
Additional info: we have way more tycho rcp bundles than plain maven
artifacts.
There are two options:
Option-1: Build maven-artifacts with maven
- build and install to maven repo
- Maven builds: can consume the artifacts without additional effort
- Tycho builds: use on-the-fly conversion to Tycho/osgi artifact
-- Tycho tooling for this is implemented in tycho v.2.2
-- Alternative: something like maven-bnd-plugin
-- Consume converted artifacts in tycho build
Option-2: Build tycho artifacts
- build tycho artifacts but store artifacts in Maven style repo or use
some other mechanisms to make the artifacts consumable from maven builds
-- I know that the b3aggretor has this capability when mirroring
P2-Repos. See
https://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=CBI/aggregator&redirect=no#Creating_a_Maven-conformant_p2_repo
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.eclipse.org%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DCBI%2Faggregator%26redirect%3Dno%23Creating_a_Maven-conformant_p2_repo&data=04%7C01%7Cdirk.fauth%40de.bosch.com%7C14840969597043d0c8b508d8d1d83b46%7C0ae51e1907c84e4bbb6d648ee58410f4%7C0%7C0%7C637490074796738580%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=6mySl2eDioRfL2BD9de2yr0uJxqmp2IWdlRozrHAPOQ%3D&reserved=0>
-- Has Tycho this feature too?
-- Alternative: for example something like this:
https://github.com/lhein/EclipseToMavenTooling
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Flhein%2FEclipseToMavenTooling&data=04%7C01%7Cdirk.fauth%40de.bosch.com%7C14840969597043d0c8b508d8d1d83b46%7C0ae51e1907c84e4bbb6d648ee58410f4%7C0%7C0%7C637490074796738580%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=6IX93EwWg2IOV5oVdubQvI3yxd97lMg%2FAX4LyYoWQVg%3D&reserved=0>
- Tycho Builds: can consume the artifacts without additional effort
- Maven-Builds: can consume the artifacts without additional effort
(because the repo is structured like a maven repo, but also has p2
metainformation)
Questions:
1. Which way is preferable / which should be the leading build system
for these “core-utils”?
2. Is there any downside to one of the approaches, I’m maybe missing?
Best regards,
Ahmet
