Guys, I don't know about you, but this discussion gives me the feeling
that we're now totally out of control of our own code base. Being unable
to run Cocoon and having to ask the PDE guys at Eclipse for this is
frightening me...
PDE has excellent tools for developing bundles, Maven hasn't. When I
started to develop the current OSGi based blocks fw, I preferred to
focus my limited time on getting something done at the actual blocks
system rather than creating build infrastructure.
People are working on Eclipse/Maven integration, Maven plugins for
bundle development etc. So my hope was that these tools should mature
while I was working on other parts or even that someone within our
community would like to contribute ;)
Now Reinhard is working on the task of making it easier to develop our
bundles in Eclipse. This is something that deserves praise rather than
complaints.
There are still a number of open tasks for getting a good bundle build
system for those who like to take part in the development:
