New and Noteworthy
Complete list of bug fixes and enhancements in 1.5.0-SNAPSHOT
Pomless Build
The pomless build has been improved to support some new features and improve existing ones:
bug 490886 - support for pomless update site builds
bug 482487 - support for pomless product builds
bug 550285 - support for pomless target-definition builds
[{bug|507700}} - support .test as a suffix for plugins and make it configurable, you can now alternatively specify a property tycho.pomless.testbundle=true/false in build.properties file to override the default behavior.
FreeBSD support
bug 549689 adds support for FreeBSD platform in RCP product definitions.
Thread stack traces dump before forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds timeout occurs
The parameter forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds can be specified to kill the process which runs tests (also prior to Tycho 1.5.0). With the change for bug 542876, a few minutes before the process is killed due to this timeout, thread stack traces are dumped in the test log. I.e. when a timeout occurs (e.g. due to a deadlock) the logs would now contain some indication of which code causes the timeout.
A Mojo to list dependencies
bug 547269 introduces a new org.eclipse.tycho.extras:tycho-dependency-tools-plugin:list-dependencies mojo that can list the bundles resulting of dependency resolution for Tycho projects.
This differs from dependency:list in that the later one lists the classpath which may include nested jars instead of required bundle.
The default output file is target/dependenct-list.txt, lists of absolute paths to required bundles and is suitable to use with the org.eclipse.pde.api.tools.apiAnalysis application.
