Re: pde build with maven

[Igor Fedorenko <ig...@ifedorenko.com>]

Christopher,

Although I can't help you with pde-maven-plugin (I remember some 
discussion here about retiring it, see [1]), I am working on another 
maven-based tool called Tycho that should be able to build Eclipse RCP 
applications. You can read more about Tycho goals and scope in [2] and 
RCP specific mini-howto is here [3]. You can also find couple of sample 
RCP projects we use in Tycho integration tests in [4].
