Re: [tycho-user] Is there a way to choose or change a P2 category.xml co

[Cristiano Gavião <cvgaviao@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, answering myself, no we can't use a alternative category.xml file. 
At least, looking at tycho-p2-repository-plugin (PublishCategoriesMojo) 
I could see that category.xml is fixed on code, so I can't use pom 
configuration to choose an alternative one.

I've tried to use an ant plugin to copy a category.xml from a template 
at validation phase, but it doesn't worked (don't know why).

So, to resolve my problem for now, I've created another P2 repository, 
just for the I18n stuffs, and have created a composite p2 repository 
project (as JAR) to merge both repositories.
