Editor's Notes
- #7: Packaging types -> declarative build „what to build“ not „how to build“ Use Tycho -> get lots of other tools from the Maven ecosystem for free
- #8: POM = project object model, main configuration file for a Maven build
- #12: Eclipse Platform -> probably the most complicated build you can imagine -> CBI project has ported it to Tycho
