I'm new to RCP development and trying to figure out if there is any 'standard'/'recommended' maven archetype to use for RCP that I can integrate with Eclipse. If so; where can I find it?
So far I have come across eclipse-tycho-archetype from com.github.bmaggi in the maven repository, but that archetype seems to generate an ordinary plugin project for test, which I believe should be a fragment project instead. The other one is tycho-eclipse-plugin-archetype at https://github.com/open-archetypes/tycho-eclipse-plugin-archetype, but that one is not included in the Eclipse IDE for RCP.
To summarize: Do you all create your own maven archetype for your RCP application or do you use some from maven repository or other locations?
Thanks for any guidance.
It is not essential to use a Maven archetype for RCP developers since it uses a POM-less approache. A very common folder structure used by RCP developers was suggested by Lars Vogle according to following link:
