New and Noteworthy

Complete list of bug fixes and enhancements in 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT

• bug 538729 Tycho 1.3.0 surefire plugin supports starting applications that use org.apache.felix.scr bundle in place of org.eclipse.equinox.ds (like Eclipse Platform 4.10 based target-platforms)
• bug 539552 Support for download.stats property on artifacts metadata. In order to (partially) enable p2 download stats as documented in Equinox_p2_download_stats, you can now configure you tycho-p2-plugin:p2-metadata execution to add the necessary property on the artifacts:

   <plugin>
     <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
     <artifactId>tycho-p2-plugin</groupId>
     <configuration>
        <generateDownloadStatsProperty>true</generateDownloadStatsProperty>
     </configuration>
   </plugin>

or alternatively, you can override the tycho.generateDownloadStatsProperty property either by CLI with mvn -Dtycho.generateDownloadStatsProperty=true ... or by adding <tycho.generateDownloadStatsProperty>true</tycho.generateDownloadStatsProperty> in the <properties> element of your pom.xml.

This results in this in artifacts.xml (and derived artifacts.jar and artifacts.xml.xz):

  <artifacts size='4'>
    <artifact classifier='osgi.bundle' id='bundle' version='1.0.0.123abc'>
      <properties size='9'>
        <!-- ... -->
        <property name='download.stats' value='bundle/1.0.0.123abc'/>
        <!-- ... -->
      </properties>
    </artifact>
    <artifact classifier='osgi.bundle' id='bundle' version='1.0.0.123abc'>
      <processing size='1'>
        <step id='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.processing.Pack200Unpacker' required='true'/>
      </processing>
      <properties size='12'>
        <!-- ... -->
        <property name='download.stats' value='bundle/1.0.0.123abc'/>
        <!-- ... -->
      </properties>
    </artifact>
