[tycho-user] p2 property "maven-classifier"

[Stephan Herrmann]

I just found that p2 meta data may contain

<property name='maven-classifier' value='sources'/>

This would be wonderful to make the to-maven transformation
performed by the CBI aggregator more faithful and reliable [1].

Unfortunately, not all artifacts seem to have this property
in their meta data and I have no idea, who / what puts it there.

Is tycho creating this? If so, what steps are needed to do so?


thanks,
Stephan

IIRC Tycho is automatically adding maven GAV (and classifier, if exists) p2 properties to plugins and features it creates from source [1]
