Sorry. Good luck! Hi Henrik,

Configuring and testing all of my ideas would have taken some time. So, thank you for pushing me in the right direction. Regards, Henrik Hi Mattias,

What I ended up doing with third-party bundles was to set-up a P2 repository that could be read from the .target definition file. The target files could never handle local file system paths but it worked by setting up the P2 repository on the local machine and point to it using a .target file. Hope this points you in the right direction. I'm currently not working with Tycho so this is only what I remember from my head. :) You can always try and post a question on the mailing list! Good luck! Regards, Mattias Hi Henrik,

But I'm missing the point how to handle third party libraries. I have also seen your post to the tycho mailing list, where you describe, that you want to combine a target platform with a local directory of osgi bundles [1]. I think, that's a good approach. We are currently generating osgi bundles of our third party (maven) dependencies with the Felix bundle plugin. So this approach would be a perfect solution for us. Our goal is to have a configuration, which let's us start our RCP app within eclipse and also build it with tycho. We could then have continuous integration and the developers would still have short turn around times. I would appreciate, if you could give me some hints, how to integrate third party libraries in such a scenario. What do you think is the best practice? Best regards, Henrik [1] http://software.2206966.n2.nabble.com/Combining-implicit-target-platform-and-explicit-target-platform-locations-td4553749.html Hi Mattias,

Glad you found the problem. I no longer work actively with Tycho so I'm not up-to-date with the current versions. I however think they are moving away from local target platforms to always use p2 repositories. Check out: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/tycho-user/msg00081.html Regards, Mattias Hi!

So I merged both eclipse feautes/plugins and delta features/plugings together. Now I am able to compile. The remaining question I have is about the following WARNING [WARNING] -Dtycho.targetPlatform is deprecated and WILL be removed in the next Tycho version. What when I dont specify the targetPlatform I cannot successfully compile it. I was able to find the problem,

-Dtycho.targetPlatform=C:/eclipse/delta/

was pointing to the delta package only, so it cuoldnt find the non delta constraint.

Tycho is only a tool to make OSGi work seamlessly with Maven and has nothing to do with actual compilation of the Java code. Annotations support is depending on the version of Java you're compiling for. It is supported from 1.5 and up. Regards, Mattias Hi, sure you can use annotations.
