Holger Staudacher, at EclipseSource, has a good writeup of his experience evaluating Tycho for the Runtime Packaging Project (RTP). Here's an excerpt of what he has to say:
Recently, I played around a little with Tycho, because we evaluated it for the use in the RTP project. As a test case, I decided to try to build a RAP application with Tycho. With building, I mean compiling and packaging the artifacts into a WAR file to deploy them on a Tomcat or another Servlet Container.
I have to say that I’m really impressed with Tycho. Before this experience...
It's great to see different projects trying Tycho at the Eclipse Foundation: having standard recipes for building RAP applications would be an invaluable addition for the community. RAP is not something Sonatype directly involved with, so it's great to get this varied perspective, and different applications types, so we can ensure Tycho works for as many use cases as possible. Thanks, Holger.
Holger has some good examples at GitHub, and you can find his original blog entry here.
We are currently working on submitting the CQs for Tycho, so we can move the project over to the Eclipse Foundation.
Jason is a co-founder and the former CTO of Sonatype.
