I'm starting to look into shifting building eclipse-ptp/photran with maven/tycho rather that pdebuild. This is being driven by circular build deps among the various features that make up ptp/photran and the fact that this is how upstream builds it.
As currently packaged I have quite a lot of sub-packages that break out the various features. This was fairly easy to do with pdebuild since everything was built on feature boundaries.
however with maven/tycho I end up with a single zip file with all the features and plugins in it making it hard to put the plugins into the proper sub-package.
Thoughts/suggestions? Just give up and package it all as one package?

Looks like we need to update https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:EclipsePlugins
as well. For example, after unpacking the repo zip, do we need to unpack the jars?

FWIW: eclipse-mylyn does exactly this. There is now one SRPM eclipse-mylyn again which produces many binary RPM packages which used to be in separate SRPMs. For example eclipse-mylyn-{commons,builds,tasks,docs,ide}. Mylyn upstream also moved to tycho.
