Tycho project hangs when importing it into eclipse

[parttimenerd]

I tried to import the tycho maven projects into my eclipse (2021-12) on JDK 17, but the importing gets into an endless loop.

It's not a Tycho issue, but an Eclipse (m2e) one. Let's close it here.

Thanks, I did not this

This is most probably eclipse-m2e/m2e-core#123

Oh, ok. Maybe the wrong place to ask: But is there another way to get Tycho working in eclipse (I looked at the installer version but this does not conform to the installer of the latest eclipse version)?

You should download eclipse for RCP/rap, then import everything but not the itests!

Then it works (for me) to cancel all builds, locate the tycho-core project do Maven>Update project then Maven>Update All projects

I always compile the stuff then on the commandline mvn clean install -T1C -DskipTests and run builds to debug with mvnDebug ... using a remote debugging session.

What are the itests?

https://github.com/eclipse/tycho/tree/master/tycho-its also some projects have nested integration-test-projects so just make sure you always only import the "root" project.

You mean that I should only import the root maven project (from the TYCHO_FOLDER/pom.xml)? Not importing tycho-itsdoes not help.
