Description

Just a TODO list for now...

• Manage 3rd party dependencies
• Move tests to *.test fragments? see DIRSTUDIO-1021
• Use Luna
• Migrate plugins
• Migrate features
• Migrate RCP application / product
• Migrate help plugins
• Installers (Windows EXE, Mac DMG) see DIRSTUDIO-1022
• Generate P2 repository / site, self-hosted see DIRSTUDIO-1023
• P2 repository for API and ApacheDS bundles?
• Migrate release process see DIRSTUDIO-1024
• Document build system see DIRSTUDIO-1024
• Cleanup POMs: RAT plugin configuration see DIRSTUDIO-1025
• Cleanup old "repository" folder see DIRSTUDIO-1025

Tycho Pros:

• Easy to consume Eclipse dependencies from p2 repo
• Easy to produce p2 repo
• Widely used
• Small POMs

Tycho Cons:

• Managing versions in MANIFEST.MF
• 3rd party dependencies not available in any p2 repo
• No "Standard" Maven build, e.g. tests should reside in separate modules

Sub-Tasks

• Enable tests: Resolved
• Installers: Resolved
• Generate P2 repository / update site: Resolved

• Cleanup after Tycho Migration: Resolved
