Hi Experts,
                
                I have a use case in which a plug-in project (PDE) needs
                to be build
                using maven.
                
                I am following these steps:
                
                -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                1.Created a simple plug-in project
                
              
              2.Ran following command to generate pom.xml :
              
                mvn org.sonatype.tycho:maven-tycho-plugin:generate-poms
                -DgroupId=tychodemo.grp
                -Dtycho.targetPlatform=C:/Work/IDEs/eclipse-jpaas-indogo-sr1-win64/
                
                Build success. Pom created using the above command.
                
              
              3.Ran following command for installation:
              
                mvn clean install
                
                Build Failed, [ERROR] Unknown packaging: eclipse-plugin
                @ line 8, column
                14 : Added Tycho related build in pom.xml (manually)
                This manual add was required since eclipse-plugin is not
                known to maven,
                and tycho being an extension of maven knows about it.
                
                <properties>
                <tycho-version>0.13.0</tycho-version>
                </properties>
                <build>
                <plugins>
                <plugin>
                <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
                <artifactId>tycho-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${tycho-version}</version>
                <extensions>true</extensions>
                </plugin>
                </plugins>
                </build>
                
                Using reference : 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Reference_Card
                
               
              4.Ran following command :
              
                mvn clean install
                -Dtycho.targetPlatform=C:/Work/IDEs/eclipse-jpaas-indogo-sr1-win64/
                
                Build Success.
                
                -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                
                Now the build is done, is there a possibility I can
                eliminate the manual
                step of adding tycho related tags in
                pom.xml as in step 3 above, and the complete build is
                achieved by just
                commands?
                
                Please let me know if you need more information.
                
                Any help is appreciated.
                
                Thanks & Regards,
                Piyush
