Hi @yannic_ariana,
we are currently working on porting our builds from buckminster to Tycho. For an easy start with tycho and KNIME take a look at the following community project:
It allows you to easily create the required project structure for building a KNIME extension using maven and tycho.
we plan to move the community builds from buckminster to tycho in the next months, I will create the necessary documentation and inform the community once it is ready.
