Generating a POM or repository from an eclipse installation
Hi,
I have an eclipse installation (this is not available on an update
site). I want to build another Eclipse plug-in using Tycho + Maven 3.
Everything that I need for this new plug-in is in my local
installation of eclipse or on my hard-disk. How cna I instruct maven
to get the necessary dependencies from this local installation?
- I don't want maven to get things from the internet because they are all local.
- I was to define in my POM file something like:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>my_local_repo</id>
<url>file://path/to/my/eclipse/installation/</url>
<layout>???</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
Do you know something that handles this case: a repository layout that
can pick things from a local eclipse installation?
Currently I use "p2" repository layouts and I have to
find/define/maintain every single Eclipse update site that I used to
configure my Eclipse installation. Having such a solution in place I
only have to instruct maven to pick all the dependencies form my local
installation.
An alternative equivalent solution would be to generate a POM file out
of an eclipse installation. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I guess Sonatype's Tycho is my answer:
"Tycho currently builds Maven pom.xml using a local installation of
Eclipse which should contain the Plugin Development Environment (PDE)
and other Eclipse components your specific plugin depends on."
(http://www.sonatype.com/people/2008/11/building-eclipse-plugins-with-maven-tycho/)
Thanks!

With Maven, you need to do it at least once, just to call
mvn dependency:go-offline
to download all your dependencies (plugins and project dependencies)
in one shot.

It's better doing the opposite: convert manually all your local
libraries into dependencies, manually construct your pom and, when
you're finished, use m2eclipse to manage your Maven project as an
Eclipse project.
