Not quite sure what you mean. But you can add maven
dependencies to your Tycho build using pomDependecies=consider.
But yes they need to be osgi bundles.
I wrote about that some time ago. Maybe that helps.

Ah, right. That is likely why this wasn't working before (or at
least one of the reasons).

A while ago,
I asked questions in here (and other channels) about my
Eclipse plugin build, using Tycho, which was "hard-storing"
some maven artifacts in the project instead of specifying them
"declaratively". I tried for quite a while to figure out how
to specify them as Maven dependencies, but I never got it to
work.
I started to understand that the only way to get this to work
was to be able to access those artifacts in a p2 repository,
so I can specify those dependencies in my target platform.
The administrator of the Nexus server that I use has been
working on this, but he's telling me that the artifacts
mirrored in this repository have to be OSGi bundles. A
"plain" Maven artifact jar won't work.
I'm now understanding that it's straightforward to "augment"
an existing Maven artifact with the appropriate
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file to have it be recognized and
properly used as an OSGi bundle. This can be done at build
time with the "maven-bundle-plugin", but Nexus also has the
ability (I don't know the details yet) to semi-automatically
add manifest info to artifacts so they can be used in a p2
repo.
However, I'm also hearing that even if the artifact is a valid
OSGi bundle, it won't properly work in a p2 repo unless it can
somehow see "features". What do I have to do to plain Maven
artifact jars to make them usable in an Eclipse plugin build
as repository targets in a target platform specification?
