[tycho-user] Can tycho pull a 3rd party (non-osgi) jar into a bundle lib dir and make sure it's on the bundle classpath?

[Felix Dorner]

Hi,

I have a plugin that needs a 3rd party (non-osgi) jar in its classpath.
Currently the jar is in a lib folder. I now have to commit the plugin, but
I don't want the .jar in git. Is there some magic maven/tycho helper/trick
that can help me download this jar into the right place on build (button
click) time?

Thanks,
Felix

one option is to use the maven-dependency-plugin:copy goal, see e.g.

https://github.com/eclipse/tycho/blob/9969737355b3c7ef7db3e88961a3529214a0baa0/tycho-surefire/pom.xml#L59

Jan

Okay I see. In this case, do you manage the bundle-classpath manifest
entries manually or do you have another trick for that?

Hi Felix,

The maven dependency plugin let you specify the output directory where to store the copied/downlaoded resources (in the example pom Jan sent you, that is configured in one of the parent poms):

<configuration>
<outputDirectory>jars</outputDirectory>
<artifactItems>


.
</artifactItems>
</configuration>

The jars should end up in <projectdirectory>/jars and you could add them in your Manifest.MF as you have done it before using the dependency plugin:

e.g.

Bundle-ClassPath: .,
jars/surefire-junit47-2.17.jar,
jars/common-junit48-2.17.jar,
jars/surefire-grouper-2.17.jar

Ok, this works on the command line. Great. Can you explain how I can
'execute' this special section in eclipse/m2e in your example?

<!-- Have m2e execute the jar copy step for easy project import in Eclipse
-->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>
<artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
...

Thanks again for help.
Felix

Oh, I had to 'convert to maven project' and then the copy is executed
during eclipse build. Cool. Thank you again.
