Some considerations: - During a Tycho build, one does not necessarily know (generally don't know) where the results will be promoted after the build. - When building a product, one...

PDE, with m2e's help, as well as Tycho, support specifying Maven dependencies in a *.target. Orbit uses that specifically here: https://github.com/eclipse-orbit/orbit-simrel/blob/main/maven-osgi/tp/Maven.target As background, this file is generated/updated automatically by looking...

Probably it helps to look at this simple integration test which https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/tree/master/tycho-its/projects/gpg.sign.p2.basic Especially this: https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/blob/master/tycho-its/projects/gpg.sign.p2.basic/site/pom.xml

Indeed it is not back ported. If I recall correctly, it's not even in 3.x...

My sense is that we should not generate this message for file: URIs because once an artifact in the file system, we should not have to worry about transmission errors,...

Is something currently being published to Maven Central? If so, where exactly?

Note that we repackage Jetty 11 and 12 as a p2 repository consuming it directly from Maven Central: https://github.com/eclipse-orbit/orbit-simrel/tree/main/maven-jetty We could certainly consume the Eclipse Collections artifacts either via this...

As of the most recent Eclipse Platform release, the platform already uses SPI Fly: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/blob/7abd3a2f917361376456a95a5f412f0e1d9c120b/eclipse.platform.releng.tychoeclipsebuilder/eclipse.platform.repository/sdk.product#L191 And yes, Orbit can easily incorporate these like any other 3rd party bundle. The comments...

FYI, the only uses in SimRel is this one by VIATRA: 

I've never familiarized myself with the details of the EBR implementation. Instead I've relied on driving BND wrapping directly from a *.target file as supported by PDE (via m2e extension)...
