Enabling tycho

   <properties>
      <tycho-version>0.14.1</tycho-version>
   </properties>

   <build>
      <plugins>
         <plugin>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
            <artifactId>tycho-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${tycho-version}</version>
            <extensions>true</extensions>
         </plugin>
      </plugins>
   </build>
Note that this is usually defined in the parent POM in under build / plugins

Repository providing the context of the build

Specify a repository to get pre-built pieces from. Multiple repositories can be specified. See also target file section.

   <repository>
      <id>eclipse-indigo</id>
      <layout>p2</layout>
      <url>http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo</url>
   </repository>

Target file providing the context of the build

Use a target platform to get pre-build pieces from. The target platform file can be edited using Eclipse PDE editor.

          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
            <artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId>
            <version>${tycho-version}</version>
            <configuration>
              <target>
                <artifact>
                  <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                  <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
                  <version>${project.version}</version>
                  <classifier>TargetFileNameWithoutExtension</classifier>
                </artifact>
              </target>
            </configuration>
          </plugin>

Test bundles

  <groupId>Some-Group-Id</groupId>
  <artifactId>Bundle-SymbolicName</artifactId>
  <version>Bundle-Version</version>
  <packaging>eclipse-test-plugin</packaging>

Setting up the tests to run

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
    <artifactId>tycho-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${tycho-version}</version>
    <configuration>
      <testSuite>Bundle-SymbolicName-of-bundleContaining-Tests</testSuite>
      <testClass>FullyQualifiedNameOfTheTestClass</testClass>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

Setting VM args

In the configuration section for the test plug-in

           <argLine>-Xmx512m</argLine>

Setting application arguments

In the configuration section for the test plug-in

           <appArgLine>-nl en</appArgLine>

Running an application or a product

           <application>EclipseApplicationID</application>
           <product>EclipseProductID</product>

Bundle start level

           <bundleStartLevel>
              <bundle>
                 <id>Bundle-SymbolicName</id>
                 <level>1</level>
                 <autoStart>true</autoStart>
              </bundle>
           </bundleStartLevel>

Selecting JDK

Since version 0.13 tycho-surefire-plugin can use Maven Toolchains to run tests with a specific version of JDK independent from the one Maven is running with.

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-toolchains-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <phase>validate</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>toolchain</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
      <toolchains>
        <jdk>
          <version>1.5</version>
          <vendor>sun</vendor>
        </jdk>
      </toolchains>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

Source Bundles

To generate source bundles, you need to execute goal "plugin-source" of plugin tycho-source-plugin:

  <build>
    <plugins>   
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
        <artifactId>tycho-source-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${tycho-version}</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>plugin-source</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>plugin-source</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

For convenience, you can do this only once in your parent POM. A source bundle (with ".source" appended to the Bundle-SymbolicName) will be generated for each module inheriting from this parent which has packaging type eclipse-plugin or eclipse-test-plugin.

To assemble source bundles, at this point you need to create source feature(s) which include the source bundles same as for normal bundles.

To do this, open the feature.xml, duplicate the normal bundle entries and append .source (not sources) to the attribute id of the copy.

Generating POM files

mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-pomgenerator-plugin:generate-poms -DgroupId=<MY.PROJECT>

To address e.g. version 0.15.0-SNAPSHOT of tycho:

mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-pomgenerator-plugin:0.15.0-SNAPSHOT:generate-poms -DgroupId=<MY.PROJECT>
