Migrating from PDE to Bndtools in Practice
summary
Migration describes converting a PDE/Tycho build for an Eclipse SmartHome product into a Bndtools workspace that actually builds the same artifacts, indexes p2 and Maven repos, and produces OBR-compatible bundles. The team converts and imports code, generates manifests and metatype XML from annotations, and reproduces CI composite artifacts for deployment; the effort covers about 350 projects, enforces semantic versioning, uses a flat workspace and delivers instant jar generation for developers with reduced runtime footprint.
