Description

The current build system uses an ad-hoc unstable and non-standard setup that makes Maven call the PDE headless build process.

Lately, the problem of building Eclipse plugin with Maven has been addressed by the Eclipse community and the result is Project Tycho (http://www.eclipse.org/tycho/) which makes easier to build Eclipse plugins on the command line using maven.

The idea is to replace the current build system with Tycho so that we can control and integrate the build process better.

After tycho 0.13.0 (stable release on Sep 20, 2011), one major build issue in the previous version from 0.11 to 0.13-SNAPSHOT is fixed, which was not able to generate macOSx products from Linux or Windows system.

Current test matrix looks like:

Host Platform Windows Linux macOSx
Linux(Fedora 15 32bit) x x x
Windows(Win7 32bit) x x x
macOSx ? ? ?

where "x" means tested against 0.13.0 and "?" means not tested yet against tycho 0.13.0

Eclipse Indigo is required for tycho 0.13.0, as there are some issues when running tycho against the old Eclipse helios (3.6) RCP and pde compiler.
