How do I get Tycho?


Tycho is supposed to be a plug-in for maven for building eclipse plug-ins.

I have found various blogs and other articles about it, but the contained links to Tycho are all dead or not accessible for the general public, for example: http://www.sonatype.com/people/2009/04/tycho-040-roadmap/

The only thing I found is a project proposal on the eclipse site, but it doesn't reference any downloads: http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/tycho/

I found a svn repository, but it seems to be extremely dated: http://svn.codehaus.org/m2eclipse/tycho/trunk/

So my question is: where do I get tycho from? Or is it dead and I should stop bothering?

I doubt it's dead, since I found out there is a talk about it on JAX2010 ...


Solution

  • Tycho is not dead at all (it has indeed been submitted to become an Eclipse project) but is now hosted (and actively developed) on github: http://github.com/sonatype/sonatype-tycho
