A Maven Archetype that can be used to generate the architecture of a Tycho project. Then you can use maven to manage eclipse RCP project.
This repository contains a sample project that can be looked up to see how a project generated by this archetype looks like. This project is a fork from echebbi/kazejiyu-tycho-archetype, thank you for your wheel.
As any other archetype, the Tycho Archetype can be used from the command line. It is identified by the following properties:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Group ID | com.github.alexmao86 |
| Artifact ID | eclipse-tycho-archetype |
Now it is not in centre repo, you need to clone repo and do clone this repository then install the archetype in your local installation by typing
mvn install
Type the following command to use the archetype and to start the generation of a new project:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local
The archetype follows Lars Vogel advices on how a Tycho project should be structured. More specifically, it generates the following architecture:
