Inside Tycho 4 - build bundles better
summary
Tycho 4 moves to a two‑phase resolver so builds start and fail faster, parallel modules compile while final OSGi wiring is computed, and the smart builder spots slow modules. It adds pomless builds to derive group/artifact IDs from layout and cut hundreds of POMs, brings BND support and BND-style testing, supports multi‑release jars and standard OSGi repos, and introduces the Tycho Baseline plugin that checks exported packages and recommends precise semantic‑version bumps.
