Editor's Notes
- #6: Tycho uses JDT compiler – respects package visibility rules (export package)
- #7: Limited support: build.properties, *.target files (but no longer different interpretation)Dependencies: OSGi Manifest Only = manifest first; dependencies in POM ignored/special semantics
- #9: Tycho is the first Maven plug-in at Eclipse
- #10: Contributors: SAP AG – various; Inventage AG – Beat Strasser; plus a couple of small contributionsRecent = last 6 monthsCDT = Eclipse's C/C++ Development ToolingCommercial adoption: SAP OSGi based tools/servers; JBoss tools (large project -> separate talk)
