I am putting together a Maven build for a number of eclipse plugins.
At first glance, it seems trickier than I had anticipated....
I wonder if anyone already has any experience with this or has some
advice
Dependancies:
Eclipse requires all its dependancy jars to be deployed as plugins
(There is a plugin.xml and a bunch of other stuff).
Does anyone know if there is a Maven plugin that generates eclipse
plugin.xml files?
Versions:
Eclipse embeds the version in the directory name rather than the jar
name (opposite of Maven).
This means that jar produced by Maven is not immediately usable
(deployable)
Repository:
We currently dont have any eclipse jars in ibiblio - is anyone else
interested in having them there?
What naming/versioning convention should we use?
So far, I need :
org.eclipse.core.runtime_2.0.0/runtime.jar
org.eclipse.core.boot_2.0.0/boot.jar
org.eclipse.core.resources_2.0.0/resources.jar
org.eclipse.core.resources.win32_2.0.0/os/win32/x86/core_2_0_5.dll (not
sure how we store this)
org.eclipse.update.core_2.0.0/updatecore.jar
startup.jar (for 2.0.0)
Cheers.
Regards,
Nick
