使用Eclipse Tycho构建Eclipse Plugin项目

Eclipse Tycho简介#

Tycho is an project which provides a set of Maven plug-ins for building Eclipse components via the command line. Tycho supports the build process of Eclipse plug-ins, features, update sites (based on p2) and products. Combined with a continuous integration server, for example a Hudson or Jenkins instance, Tycho allows configuring an integration build for Eclipse components. Tycho uses the metadata of the Eclipse components files as much as possible, e.g., for plug-ins it determines the dependencies via theMANIFEST.MF
file.

The main Tycho Maven plug-in for is the tycho-maven-plugin
plug-in. This plug-ins supports building Eclipse projects, it enables Maven to understand package types such as eclipse-plugin, eclipse-feature and eclipse-repository.

To use Tycho you only have to install the Maven build tool. The Tycho plug-ins for Maven are automatically downloaded and installed by Maven based on your Maven configuration file.
