New and Noteworthy

Complete list of bug fixes and enhancements in 0.22.0

Compiler

• You can now reuse project JDT compiler preferences .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs by globally configuring

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
  <artifactId>tycho-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>${tycho-version}</version>
  <configuration>
    <useProjectSettings>true</useProjectSettings>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

in your parent pom. This will warn but not fail if the prefernce file is not present. (bug 404633)

Target Platform & Dependency Resolution

• (INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE) In case you specify multiple execution environment profiles in the Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment manifest header, the profile used for the build may have changed. Tycho no longer attempts to find the "minimal" profile from the ones specified, but now uses the one specified first (bug 435313). See Execution Environments for details on the execution environment configuration and effects in the build.

Test Execution

• Tycho Surefire was updated to use latest Maven Surefire version 2.17. This enabled consumption of various fixes in surefire:
  • Test bundle MANIFESTs with Import-Package: org.junit can be run now (bug 369266)
