Non OSGI Jars
All this while we only spoke about Plugin Dependencies. What if your Project is dependent on NON OSGI Bundles [JAR]With Tycho it is Not possible due to the Manifest First Approach / You cant run this in Mixed MODE.
Approach 1 : Commit the JARsKeep the JAR in your Plugin, CheckIn Jar into your Source Control SystemApproach 2 : Using Maven ExtensionsDownloading and Copying into a Specific Folder which is already added in Build Paths

Pom LESS Build
Why do we need POM.xml files in Tycho Builds since its is using PDE artifacts.
Plugins and Features do not require POM.xml files Just have only one POM.xml for Parent Project You need a POM.xml for Update Site or Products. Works only on Eclipse Mars and Tycho 0.24.0 or later. Plugins and Features must be relative to parent project always.
