Re: Eclipse Development with Maven
Just a follow up. I have contacted the guys who wrote the article and it looks like they want to collaborate so hopefully we will integrate their code so now you're just back to option 1) below :-) Jason.

Re: Eclipse Development with Maven
There are two solutions that currently work: 1) I just checked in yesterday but in the Eclipse Maven Integration we have some tools for headless builds: http://svn.codehaus.org/m2eclipse/tycho/trunk/ It still needs to be documented but there is a small readme and these tools are being used in production. 2) Something pointed out to me by Eugene Kuleshov which is very similar to the approach taken in Tycho: http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Eclipse-and- Maven2/index.html I have contacted these guys to see if they want to collaborate but both of these methods work. 1) Doesn't use PDE or Buckminster at all but does take the state resolver from PDE to calculate the dependencies.
