thank you Immo for your comment. I was tired of the tutorials which just work ’til the second step or maybe til the third. When I have more time i’ll try to reconstruct the problem you posted.

Hi René, this is an excellent tutorial. Much easier to follow than the Codehaus one. I have referenced it from my blog at http://aspsp.blogspot.com/ and if you have no objection, I’ll paraphrase it into English with the things I learned while trying to implement such a build in Eclipse RCP Developer 3.3.1.1.

Your example POM is very well, except for the fact that tags like groupId and artifactId have been lowercased. Once I fixed those, the Maven build started up OK

One problem I am currently wrestling with is this. When I try to run a simple Maven command, such as mvn test, the build fails with:

[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Couldn’t find a version in [3.3.0-v20070604, 3.3.0-v20070530] to match range [3.3.0,4.0.0)
org.eclipse.core:resources:jar:null

Looking in the target installation directory, the only relevant plugin that I have is org.eclipse.core.resources.win32_3.3.0.v20070226.jar – the other two must have been deployed earlier in our project repository as a result of running mvn eclipse:to-maven against the Eclipse RCP Developer installation.

There isn’t even any indication of which Eclipse plugin has the dependency. Any suggestion how to overcome this?

@michal: the mojo plugin just wraps the normal capabilities of eclipse rcp developement for building a rcp application using the product config file. I found no out of the box solution for the transitive dependency management maven. I guess installing your plugins manually to your local repository and declaring dependencies to it in your pom.xml may helps you at compile time. but at packaging the rcp app, you still have problems. read the howto of building rcp with the product file: howto regards, rené

What about external dependencies? What if a plugin or RCP application depends on say the Eclipse Communication Framework, or another plugin? How’s this handled by maven builds?

@thomas: if you mean the pde maven plugin, look here: pde-maven-plugin regards rené
