For projects that use maven-bundle-plugin (m-b-p for short), m2e-tycho, despite the name, will execute m-b-p to generate bundle manifest as part of eclipse workspace build. It will also make projects using m-b-p visible to PDE tools, launch configuration in particular, so you can add these projects to the list of bundles enabled in the launch configuration.
I only use this with "Eclipse Application" and "JUnit Plug-in Test" and do not know if it works with "OSGi Framework" launch configurations. Theoretically, you should not need to change anything in your pom.xml files, but due to some PDE bugs I did not care to debug you have to change location of generated bundle manifest to META-INF/manifest.mf. I usually do this in pom profile activated by m2e.version property, so regular command line build works as is. I also lock version qualifier '.qualifier' (or any constant string, really) in the same profile to avoid unnecessary workspace builds. -- Regards, Igor On 2013-07-14 4:27 PM, Philipp Marx wrote:
Hi Igor, yes I am talking about felix bundle-plugin. I am sorry I am not too familiar with the M2E connector infrastructure but I have done some googleing and try and error (unsuccessful) :) Do I understand it correct that through the connector every time I compile my sources M2E will invoke the Tycho plugin to generate the required PDE artifacts? Or does it only configure the project once (when importing)? For this to work, do I have to specify any particular life-cycle-mapping in my pom? Just to be sure: What I really want is to launch my maven bundle build with felix bundle-plugin as a OSGi bundle with the Eclipse OSGi runtime launch config :) Thanks. Cheers Philipp Are you talking about maven-bundle-plugin [1] or something else? Maven-bundle-plugin is supported by m2e-tycho, including integration with PDE launch support. This is what we use to package m2e maven runtime. You can install m2e-tycho either from m2e discovery catalog or directly from [2] [1] http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html [2] http://nexus.tesla.io:8081/nexus/content/sites/m2e.extras/m2eclipse-tycho/0.7.0/N/0.7.0.201302171659/ _______________________________________________ m2e-users mailing list m2e-users@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/m2e-users
