Bug 571065 - Multiple Execution block for tycho-p2-extras-plugin causing Error during mirroring about tycho

[laeubi]

Could you please conisder this on priority

At least you have the following options to give more priority on this this:

• Provide a small (executable) reproducer that shows your problem in form of a github repo, even better provide an itest showing your problem see https://github.com/eclipse/tycho/tree/master/tycho-its
• Provide a patch that fixes the problem, its all open source and everyone is encourage to participate!
• You can sponsor me (or search for someone else with java skills) and offer a funding for a feature or bug-fix if you need enterprise-support

Hi @laeubi

Thanks for your reply.
Please find the zip containing the project with launch files:
mirror-gav-p2.zip

Hope this will suffice to troubleshoot further.

Just to make sure: Does this works with "plain" updatesites? What is the usecase here to mirror an already zipped site (in contrast of just download and extract it?)

@laeubi
Our project is moving to Nexus 3 and this is not supporting the unzip plugins. Tycho version: 2.2.0 already helped us during the maven build to avoid the dependency over nexus2. But for local development it still needs repositories in unzipped format. If we are able to handle this via mirroring in seprate folders, we will just have to adjust the target platforms accordingly without much changes. At the same time we could completely avoid the dependency over nexus2 (the older version which supports unzip). Combining all updatesite into a single mirror also not suits within our current project.

If you are using recent eclipse+m2e you can use the 'mvn:org.eclipse.january:org.eclipse.january.releng.p2:2.3.0:zip' in the target platform directly, you can even use this target in tycho then so there is no need to play around with mirroring/unpacking and so on.

Did you mean the format: 'mvn:org.eclipse.january:org.eclipse.january.releng.p2:2.3.0:zip' is supported for target definition file created from eclipse or inside the maven pom? Our developers rely on using the target definition file to load the update sites for eclispe plugin development. We do not usually rely on maven build for local launches, as it is time consuming. Instead everything is defined within the target definition file and loaded at once. Once the local launches are working fine, we will go for the maven build to create the package and deploy.

You can use the same target file for your developers and for your tycho build and both can use mvn: URLs.
