Create a feature out of a maven-target location #280

[laeubi]

First POC for transforming a pom into a feature

This transforms pom artifacts into features.

FYI @HannesWell

This currently requires an ibuild of PDE to work!

@HannesWell the necessary changes should be available with the latest I-build, just let me know what you think about it so far.

Thank you Christoph for this draft!
I'm sorry my late response but the work on your PDE Bug 570760 and its associated bugs keeps me busy. PDE is very fragmented and it takes quite some time to get a good overview over all aspects.
I hope to find the time to have a detailed look into this next week.

@HannesWell no need to worry... in the meantime, I'm quite fine with the featureset as a first valuable iteration, if no more comments/issues arise, the next would be to wait for the new PDE release....
And when we are quite sure that it is good to go that way, tycho needs to be enhanced to support this as well see

• Support pom dependecies in maven targets eclipse-tycho/tycho#331

@HannesWell @mickaelistria I have upgraded the target to use the latest 2021-12 release but now it seem I have to bump all versions (at least the build fails with that), is this intentional?

Try rebasing your change on top of master first.
