Java opens/exports and tycho configurator

[karypid]

Hello,

I've been using the Tycho project configurators to import maven projects into Eclipse.

I have come across a project that requires --add-exports and defines:

                        <plugin>
                            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                            <configuration>
                                <source>${java.source.version}</source>
                                <target>${java.target.version}</target>
                                <compilerArgs>
                                    <arg>--add-exports</arg>
                                    <arg>java.base/sun.nio.cs=ALL-UNNAMED</arg>
                                    <arg>--add-exports</arg>
                                    <arg>java.base/jdk.internal.misc=ALL-UNNAMED</arg>
                                </compilerArgs>
                            </configuration>
                        </plugin>

Whenever I import this project, I have to manually go to the project's properties and in the "Java Build Path" and define these in "Module Dependencies".

The annoying thing is that if I update the maven project, the settings get overwritten and I need to manually update the build path again.

Is there some way to define these in pom.xml which would allow the Tycho project configurator to pick them up automatically, or is this simply something I have to live with?

@karypid please note that https://github.com/tesla/m2eclipse-tycho/

1. is not maintained by Tycho project
2. is not required to use Tycho with m2e

beside that it seems more a bug of m2e to not honor the JPMS settings on project update.

Is there some way to define these in pom.xml which would allow the Tycho project configurator to pick them up automatically

I don't think so

or is this simply something I have to live with?

Simply uninstall the Tycho project configurator and see if it works with plain m2e, if not report a bug there.

Yes, it seems to work fine with m2e. The relevant compiler args no "just work".
