Igor and I will eventually synchronize many of the changes but Tycho currently does work as we use it for m2eclipse everyday. Tycho is in active development. I don't believe Dan is working on the PDE plugin anymore but he can correct me if that's not right.

Hi,

my recomendation for rcp build with maven is "tycho" maven:
e.g. http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Tycho+project+overview
But you must be ready the project configuration with tycho differs
often from "normal" Maven one.

Hi, i want to setup my rcp project with a maven build. so first i
want
to build succesfully the example from the pde-maven-plugin site.

i started by downloading the following eclipse sdk and delta pack:
- eclipse-3.4.1-delta-pack.zip
- eclipse-RCP-SDK-3.4.1-win32.zip

i read through the examples from pde-maven-plugin mojo and found a
tutorial that builds a product.

this tutorial can be found here:

http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/org/codehaus/mojo/pde-maven-p
lugin/

i downloaded this one:
pde-maven-plugin-1.0-20080304.235354-2-tutorials.zip (if you want an

SSCCE (http://pscode.org/sscce.html))

after i imported the project to my eclipse ide i have done som
changes
to build.properties and pom.xml to ensure the paths are well formed.

(the name of the plugin is:
test.pde_maven_plugin.simple_application)

now i tried the pde build to be sure its running without maven:

1) launch the application (SUCCESSFUL)
2) launch the product (SUCCESSFUL)
3) export as product and launch (SUCCESSFUL)

everything works fine! now i tried to do the maven install, but this
failed:

BUILD FAILED

D:\Programme\EclipseGanymede\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.4.0.v2008
0604\scripts\productBuild\productBuild.xml:25:
The following error occurred while executing this line:

D:\Programme\EclipseGanymede\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.4.0.v2008
0604\scripts\productBuild\productBuild.xml:53:
Unable to find plug-in: test.pde_maven_plugin.simple_application.
Please
check the error log for more details.

as you can see, the pde build (i think) can't found the application
i
want to export, it seems that maven doesn't calls the pde build for
the
application first, it assumes that the plugin has already be there?
if i
change the maven packaging to jar, do the install, copy this jar to
my
target.env into plugins change packaging back to zip, do the install

again. everything runs fine, but this isn't a great solutions or? in
my
pov i think this should be done by pde build? please correct me if i
am
wrong if you need more informartions just let me know -- or if you
got
time have a look inside the maven-pde-plugin tutorial.

thank you
chris
