Eclipse as a dependency

Hi,
I have created a small Maven plugin which uses the Eclipse code formatter to
format my code.
I would like to release it but the available librairies of Eclipse are quite
old and I don't want my users to have Eclipse installed (that's the whole
point of the plugin). Is there a repository with Eclipse jars somewhere ? I
think that m2eclipse/tycho should be using them but I can't seem to find the
jars. What's the policy concerning these jars ?
Thans,
Emmanuel

I believe that openArchitectureWare also uses the eclipse-formatter. At
least they have several eclipse-jars in their repo (although I honestly
have no idea how old/new thea are). You might want to check those out?

The Eclipse folks are working themselves on making the Eclipse bundles  
available in a Maven repository.

Which is exactly what's happening. The Jetty developers have a need at  
Eclipse to build with Maven which is where the drive has come from.

Ok, I dont mean to sound unhelpful.

What I mean was that since the pain is felt more keenly by the Maven
community it is more likely that we will scratch the itch first.

What I would like to do is to get some visibility into who is working on
this, what are the issues and what can we do to help.
Are you able to provide any more enlightenment?

Please don't start making unfounded assumptions, it really doesn't help.

Yes, I talk to folks on the board on a pretty regular basis. I also  
talk to Mike Milinkovich and he wants to generally help setup proper  
Maven repositories at Eclipse. Folks like Oisin O'Hurley and Jeff  
McAffer have also expressed an interest in helping. Sonatype is  
actually a member, and Webtide is also at Eclipse with Jetty and they  
build with Maven so it's all getting done.

You have to understand that Eclipse is far more rigorous with releases  
and generally the planning of their infrastructure. If artifacts are  
produced for a Maven repository it will be done with the knowledge and  
input of all the projects at Eclipse. And their infrastructure people  
know that this requires proper support, dedicated hardware and  
interoperability plans between Maven repositories and P2 repositories.

Just dumping a bunch of translated artifacts doesn't really help  
anyone in the long term.

Jason

Having read through the bug report provided by Jesse (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=283745)
I get the feeling that they are not keen to provide any resources to support
this, because it diverts resources from other "entire" community activities.

I know there are enough people in the Maven community that would like to see
this done, so I expect it will fall on us to do the implementation work.
What we really need is someone from the Eclipse side who is willing to spend
time explaining, guiding and providing advice to get this done.

Does anyone have the necessary contacts at Eclipse to get such a person?

Sounds, good.

I just used mvnrepository.com to do a quick search and saw a number of  
pieces for eclipse deployed.  I don't know if the needed package is  
there, but it may be a start.

I wouldn't recommend using that. Let the Eclipse folks do it properly.  
They want to do it so we should help them in whatever capacity we can.
