Re: Need for help: Eclipse Neon
I've spent the whole day looking at tycho and am going to have to put
it to one side for the time being.
I'm not clear what, if any, relevance
tycho-bundles-external-0.25.0.zip has to the build?
My guess is that in order to build eclipse, various OSGi bundles like
org.eclipse.osgi.services need to be pulled in from a P2 repository,
but it's beyond my current level of understanding to see how to do
this. (I'm not a Java programmer - and I've no prior knowledge of
OSGi).
Perhaps someone more experienced in this area might be able to take a look?
