Problem lower bound does not resolve newer dependency

[phermsdorf]

Hi,

i just tried upgrading an older project and stumbled about the following problem.

I have a dependency declared as

Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.ui;bundle-version="[3.111.0,4.0.0)"

a feature of the updated target platform offers org.eclipse.ui in version 3.201.0.v20220124-1108 .

As expected PDE tools show that as a matching option:

When building with tycho 4.0.13 i see the following error:

Cannot resolve dependencies of project com.company.rcp:com.company.rcp.customer.application:eclipse-plugin:1.1.2-SNAPSHOT
 with context {osgi.os=win32, osgi.ws=win32, org.eclipse.update.install.features=true, osgi.arch=x86_64, org.eclipse.update.install.sources=true}
  Software being installed: com.company.rcp.customer.application 1.1.2.qualifier
  Missing requirement: com.company.rcp.customer.application 1.1.2.qualifier requires 'osgi.bundle; org.eclipse.ui [3.111.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found: See log for details

I double checked the build is using the same target as the IDE.

Any ideas why this does not work as expected?

Thanks for any hints.

Bye Peter

This is most likely because the product build is not using the expected target platform or something else is not setup properly.

It turned out it has something to do with the repository "setup" and not with the version at all.

When updating the feature version i missed updating the repository location like it's done in other places.

We reference a composite repository where some other repos are aggregated and it seemes like PDE does resolve that differently than tycho. I remebered having similar problems when updating ancient projects with target platform configurations where a feature was not able to resolve all it's dependencies from that single location.

Obviously former tycho version also looked into other location definitions to resolve missing dependencies from there ... somehow.

Anyways, it's working now.

Thanks for your answer @laeubi
