Tycho is a set of Maven plug-ins that allows you to build Eclipse plug-ins projects and to run tests based on Eclipse plugins. Tycho aims at bridging the Maven build system with PDE (Plug-in Development Environment) by taking the dependencies specified in the MANIFEST.MF files into consideration and by downloading dependencies from Eclipse p2 repositories. This way, it can compile Java files in Eclipse plug-in projects, create jars, create features, and update sites.

Note

A Maven build can be run on the command line, if you install Maven on your system. You can download Maven binaries from https://maven.apache.org/. The Maven executable is called mvn. Alternatively, a Maven build can be easily run from...
