Hi devs, I tried doing a maven build this via a simple copy process, where I am copying the required dependencies and generation the required packaging. But there are some issues in the same. Eclipse does not publish their latest artifacts in maven central or any of the other repositories[1]. I could only find dependencies for 3.6 version of eclipse core [2]. Other related dependencies like swt, Jfaces [2] etc are also of older versions, available via maven central.
In order to get around the problem I checked how they are doing it in tycho plugin, as they use the latest versions there. They are packing their own jars and we could use a few(osgi, runtime etc), which can provide us the latest versions. I am not sure of what to with the rest, if we do it in this manner. Much of the problem is due to the eclipse pde libs(core,runtime,osgi,emf,jface,swf etc) that are required for the build. I have also tried maven-pde plugin but that requires eclipse path of the machine. I believe it is not actively developed anymore. Are there any suggestions ? regards Rahul [1] https://oss.sonatype.org [2] http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.eclipse.core [3] http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.eclipse/jface
