eclipse-updatesite in maven local repo and dependency resolution

[umairsair]

Hi,

I have an eclipse-updatesite installed in my local maven repository. My eclipse-feature build is failing because of missing IU requirement but that IU exists in that updatesite.

Does tycho consider the updatesite installed in local repo for dependencies and target platform resolution?

You need to reference the update-site with its maven coordinates in your pom fro it to be considered.

<repository>
   <id>my-maven-deployed-site</id>
   <url>mvn:[grouId]:[artifactId]:[version]:[extension]:[qualifier]</url>
   <layout>p2</layout>
</repository>

Can you share an example? Are you using the latest Tycho version (2.5.0)?

[umairsair]

no. I am on older version. Let me try 2.5.0.

[umairsair]

I am using Java 8 :(

which tycho version should I try?

[laeubi]

Sorry this feature is only available for Tycho 2.x. This requires you to run with Java 11, but you can still build/compile with java 8.

[umairsair]

It worked with Java 11 and Tycho 2.2.

Thanks.
