Tycho: Building Eclipse plugins with Maven


April 27, 2011 By hloney

As part of the Eclipse Live series of webinars, Sonatype software developer Pascal Rapicault is giving a presentation on Tycho: Building Eclipse plugins with Maven.

About the webinar:

Tycho is a set of Maven plugins and extensions for building Eclipse plugins and OSGI bundles with Maven. Eclipse plugins and OSGI bundles have their own metadata for expressing dependencies, source folder locations, etc. that are normally found in a Maven POM. Tycho uses native metadata for Eclipse plugins and OSGi bundles and uses the POM to configure and drive the build. Tycho supports bundles, fragments, features, update site projects and RCP applications. Tycho also knows how to run JUnit test plugins using OSGi runtime and there is also support for sharing build results using Maven artifact repositories.

Join this webinar to get an overview of the Tycho project and to learn what plans the project has for the future.

Building Eclipse plugins and RCP applications with Tycho, Nexus & Hudson


February 22, 2011 By hloney

The schedule for EclipseCon 2011 has been announced, and the Sonatype team is excited to host talks and workshops throughout the week.

Sonatype’s Jason van Zyl, Pascal Rapicault, and Igor Fedorenko, along with Jan Sievers from SAP AG, are holding a three-hour workshop on building Eclipse plugins and RCP applications with Tycho, Nexus and Hudson.

Build automation and continuous integration are central to the production of quality enterprise software. Without automation it is often difficult to keep track of defects and communicate build status. One of the goals of the Maven project is to bring efficient build automation to enterprise development, and as more organizations start to develop Eclipse plugins and RCP applications, there is a greater need for Maven to interoperate with the Eclipse platform. This tutorial will provide first hand experience in how to use Tycho, Nexus & Hudson to build Eclipse plugins and RCP applications.
