Building an Eclipse plugin using Maven

I am trying to configure Maven to build an Eclipse application (Eclipse plugin packaged with all of the Eclipse EXEs etc). I have already Mavenised dozens of dependencies of the project and deployed them to our internal Nexus (OSS) server. I have also installed the Nexus P2 Repository Plugin and the P2 Bridge Plugin (2.6.3-01) and the Nexus Unzip Plugin (0.12.0). I can browse to the .meta/p2 folder of our group repository, but it is currently empty. This should be a lot simpler than it currently appears to be. I'm targeting Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede) on Windows. If it makes any difference, we actually deploy our application packaged as a stripped-down/customised Eclipse installation. eclipse-repository When I run maven against a pom with `<packaging>eclipse-repository</packaging>` I get the following error: ``` [ERROR] Missing requirement: MyApp 0.0.0 requires 'org.eclipse.equinox.executable.feature.group 0.0.0' but it could not be found ``` ...where do I get that from, and how do I add it to Nexus? When I run maven against a pom with `<packaging>eclipse-plugin</packaging>` I get the following error: ``` [ERROR] Missing requirement: MyApp 0.0.0 requires 'bundle org.eclipse.ui 0.0.0' but it could not be found ``` ...but I found the following directories on my local file system (suspect itp-04-rcp generated the first one): ``` D:\maven\repository\p2\osgi\bundle\org.eclipse.ui\3.6.2.M20110203-1100 D:\maven\repository\p2\osgi\bundle\org.eclipse.ui\3.7.0.v20110928-1505 ``` Tycho POM-First artifacts I've also tried the pom-first-dependencies and manifest-first-dependency combo: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/How_Tos/Dependency_on_pom-first_artifacts I don't understand how this works - I can build itp02 from Git. I can see that it builds two bundles: ``` +---------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+ | artifactId | Bundle-Name | Bundle-SymbolicName | +---------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+ | pomfirst-bundle | pomfirst-bundle | tycho.demo.itp02.pomfirst-bundle | | pomfirst-thirdparty | pomfirst-thirdparty | tycho.demo.itp02.pomfirst-thirdparty | +---------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+ ``` ...but how does build02 pick these up? The only bit that seems relevant is: ``` Import-Package: tycho.demo.itp02.pomfirst ``` ...that doesn't have anything to do with either of the Bundle-Names. Felix Maven Bundle Plugin I tried the Felix maven-bundle-plugin. I include all of my regular maven dependencies in a pom with `<packaging>bundle</packaging>`. `mvn deploy` creates something at /nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/.meta/p2/plugins. I can download the jar via a browser, but all of the dependency jars are named "artifact-vresion" rather than "artifact_version" - is that right? `mvn bundle:bundleall` creates an OSGI bundle for each of the transitive dependencies, but I'm not sure what to do with them from here. `mvn bundle:deploy` refuses to do anything unless I specify `-DremoteOBR` and probably a few other parameters which I don't really understand.
