Thanks Graham for updates. Is there any expected time frame or maven release, which will have these features. "eclipse:make-artifacts" is a nice feature but it will work only if the person building and assembling the project has eclipse installed in his or her machine, which I think will not be the case as the RCP is one of the modules and not everybody will be working on it. For compilation purpose the win32 eclipse jars are availabe in maven ( repo1.maven.org), so compilation is not a problem.

I am currently in the process of trying to solve this problem. Although the latest eclipse jars are not (yet) available in a maven repository, the 2.3-SNAPSHOT maven-eclipse-plugin has a goal eclipse:make-artifacts that, given a directory containing an eclipse installation, will import all the eclipse jars into your local repository, complete with dependency information. It works very well. You can point the maven-eclipse-plugin at the deltapack, and those jars can be imported as well. > - how can I assemble the RCP for different platform using maven?

That is my next task - the maven-pde-plugin seems the most likely solution, however I have not yet found a way to produce an eclipse RCP app for multiple platforms using this method, yet.
