[tycho-user] m2e-tycho : what is its scope ?

["Dahanne, Anthony" <Anthony.Dahanne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
I just tried m2e-tycho, and I'm wondering certain things about the roadmap of this m2e-eclipse extension.
In fact, I understand it is a great way to expose a pom first bundle as a true bundle to Eclipse (and hence allow resolutions of import packages and require bundles from other bundles in the workspace), as Stuart mentioned no that long ago on bnd-tools mailing list http://groups.google.com/group/bndtools-users/browse_thread/thread/cd57ab1d9818542

Now, is there a roadmap, a goal , that would define what this plugin should do in the future ?

In particular would it be possible to use this plugin to replace PDE in the IDE ?; if it was capable of resolving <repositories> tags from Tycho project's pom and also <target> couldn't we imagine that ?

Importing a tycho project would be as easy as a importing any other projects with m2eclipse : import maven projects and you're done, everything is set up for you.(target platform, classpath entries)

I hope my message makes sense, I did not find a project page about m2e-tycho, just the github repo (https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-tycho ) and some messages on mailing lists.

Thanks,
