title: Need Apache commons-lang3 as dependency of an Eclipse plugin built with Tycho
body: <p>I'm having one of those nights...
  I'm developing an Eclipse plugin using Tycho (the Maven extension), and at some point I wanted simply to use the class <code>StringUtils</code> from <code>org.apache.commons</code>. After some research, the only way that I could find is the following code in my pom.xml parent file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;dependencies&gt;
      &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.commons&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;commons-lang3&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;3.3.2&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
    &lt;/dependencies&gt;
  
    &lt;build&gt;
      &lt;plugins&gt;
        &lt;plugin&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.eclipse.tycho&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;tycho-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;${tycho.version}&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;extensions&gt;true&lt;/extensions&gt;
        &lt;/plugin&gt;
  
        &lt;plugin&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.eclipse.tycho&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;target-platform-configuration&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;${tycho.version}&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;configuration&gt;
              &lt;pomDependencies&gt;consider&lt;/pomDependencies&gt;
            &lt;environments&gt;
              &lt;environment&gt;
                ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This didn't work, and any other solution that I tried didn't work either.
  I'm using Maven for the first time, so maybe I'm missing something (or a lot of things)...
  Does anyone have an idea? I'd be very thankful :o)</p>
