Learn about migrating from P2 update sites to Maven repositories in this EclipseCon 2022 presentation by Gilles Iachelini and Christoph Laeubrich. Explore SBB's three-year journey transitioning from target platform-based P2 update sites to integrated m2e features for Maven artifacts. Discover practical solutions for handling dependencies in both OSGi and non-OSGi projects, including strategies for managing non-OSGi compliant jars and complex branching models. Master the implementation of Maven artifacts in target platforms through detailed examples covering simple dependencies, group dependencies, transitive dependencies, and OSGi metadata management. Gain valuable insights from real-world experience and learn step-by-step instructions for modern target platform management in Eclipse RCP development.
