Context: Have built an eclipse update site using tycho but trying to install into target IDE fails.
The update site builds fine; I can see it from a target eclipse installation and select the feature for installation. However, the dependency check fails at start of install as it can't find a declared dependency (org.eclipselabs.xtext.utils.unittesting). This shouldn't be a dependency: it was erroneously included in MANIFEST.MF for one of my eclipse plugin projects.
I removed the dependency from the manifest and run mvn clean install
. Build reported success. However when I try to use the newly built update site it still complains that the dependency to org.eclipselabs.xtext.utils.unittesting
(a) exists and (b) can't be satisfied.
So the question is: what else do I need to do to remove the dependency from the generated update site?
Thanks for any pointers.
PS: I know I could add the site for o.e.x.u.unittesting in the target eclipse installation so it can satisfy the dependency. However I don't want to do that; it's not needed for the feature to work and I don't want other users to have to add an unnecessary dependency.
