When running Tycho in local mode, dependencies will be resolved for all
environments defined in target-platform-configuration. Only the running
environment should be used.
When the path to the plugins/features folder for a set of bundles is
"%%{_datadir}/eclipse/dropins/${name}" (missing the additional eclipse
folder), the linking of its jars will fail.
Automatically create a local p2 repository of all bundles on the system
so that they may be used for local dependency resolution. This is done
using a modified version of Eclipse's copy-platform script.
When running an Eclipse bundle's tests, Tycho Surefire resolves its
runtime dependencies using a class loader, which is in fact just looking
through Bundle-ClassPath. As a result, it must copy over and include
system jars in its Bundle-ClassPath. We use Fedora system jars to
satisfy these dependencies but even these jars differ slightly in terms
of provided classes.
Since Fedora 17, we need an Execution Environment of at least JavaSE-1.6
for Eclipse bundles. Eclipse Juno platform bundles depend on
javax.annotation. In Fedora this is provided by geronimo-annotation, but
has a dependency on javax.lang.model (since 1.6).
