Eclipse Plugin Development Build Tool

I am looking for a Build Tool, that is able to build Eclipse Plugins with dependencies including OSGI and non-OSGI dependencies.

The Build Tool shall add .jars as well as other Eclipse Dependencies to the build path.

In general I want everything to just work as expected. I tried Maven with the Maven:Eclipse and with Tycho. Both do not work as I expect them to work (The cannot add .jars to my class path and make them available at runtime - only with dirty hacks).

Is there any Build tool out there?

Tycho is the long-term solution, it's used to build Eclipse packages you get from the Downloads page.

I suggest you post a question (or questions), either on here SO or the tycho-users mailing list, about the specifics of the Tycho problems you encountered; it's not a trivial technology but there are knowledgeable people out there willing to help.
