[cross-project-issues-dev] Can Orbit also host "p2-ified" OSGi bundles f

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Some OSGi bundles are existing on Maven, great. Tycho is able to consume them directly with the "pomDependencies=consider" option, great too.
However, this pomDependencies=consider doesn't have an equivalent in PDE target-platform like p2 has. So it makes that using directly OSGi bundles from Maven make it tricky to provide a portable target platform definition (.target file).
Do you think it would make sense for Orbit to also host those external bundles, without rebuilding them, and pusblish them as p2 artifacts? I'll probably need it soon for GSon 2.5.0.

Cheers,
