Well I am no expert in tycho so I may be wrong or not-up-to-date but no tycho cannot help.

Tycho looks only looks for dependencies in pom files, which are osgi bundles. Normal maven jar
libraries are ignored hence for those libraries to be available on the classpath to both eclipse's
P2 and Tycho, they much be listed in the manifest file. I do this by specifying them as
dependencies in the pom file and using copy-dependencies to get them into the lib directory of the
plugin.
