Hi,
I'm currently developing an eclipse RCP application. This application
consists of eclipse plugins also known as bundles. In this project, maven
integration means that every bundle is a maven module with its own pom.xml.
Now it happens that some of my bundles depends on other bundles like
spring-dm or XStream. Therefore, in pom.xml I have for example:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.thoughtworks.xstream</groupId>
<artifactId>com.springsource.com.thoughtworks.xstream</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
</dependency>
This artifact exists in my local repository.
In eclipse IDE, in the package explorer,
com.springsource.com.thoughtworks.xstream appears in the maven dependencies
list and there are no compilation error. BUT, eclipse complains because, my
bundle specifies Import-Package: com.thoughtworks.xstream in its
MANIFEST.MF, but it can't find any bundle exporting it. It seems that
eclipse only looks for exported package in the runtime environment, and not
in MAVEN dependencies.
I don't know if I'm clear and if this mailing list if the good place for
asking, but may be some other people have exprience with eclipse bundle dev.
integration with maven and eclipse.
Thanks,
Nicolas.
