ICE build cannot download required plugins
Created by: SmithRWORNL
The ICE build is currently unable to download all of its required maven plugins. Current builds are working only because of pre-downloaded plugins from previous working builds in our .m2 folders. In order to reproduce the bug, delete your computer's .m2 repository (be sure to back it up first), then clone a new version of ICE.
I have a partial fix that addresses the problem of the tycho-maven-plugin no longer being available from the Eclipse CBI repository. However, it required me changing to the Tycho 0.26.0-SNAPSHOT build because I couldn't find a stable repo for 0.24.0 and the 0.24.0-SNAPSHOT is giving me an error when I try to use it. You can see it on the Robert/Build-Fix branch. If you get build errors related to the maven-plugin-api, try to clean the project and restart ICE. I'm still getting errors for other plug-ins, which I'm working on.
@jayjaybillings I'm assigning this to you just to ask about the feasibility of changing our Tycho version, or if I just need to find a working repo for the 0.24.0 version, as I still intend to keep working on this myself unless I hear otherwise.
