I’ve got the basics down for doing this conversion, but there are a couple of differences between the MANIFEST.MF files generated by the two tools when SNAPSHOT versions are used.
Bundle-Version header: By default, given a version in a POM like "1.2.3-SNAPSHOT”: - the maven-bundle-plugin converts the version to “X.X.X.SNAPSHOT" - the bnd-maven-plugin changes the version "X.X.X.<timestamp>" There is a new instruction in the upcoming 3.2.0 release of the bad-maven-plugin that will allow preserving the “.SNAPSHOT” in the Bundle-Version header. I’m assuming we want to preserve the “.SNAPSHOT” in the Bundle-Version header, so we’ll need to wait for version 3.2.0 of the bnd-maven-plugin Export-Package header: - the maven-bundle-plugin includes “.SNAPSHOT” in the version of exported packages - i.e. org.apache.camel;version=“2.18.0-SNAPSHOT" - the bnd-maven-plugin does not include “.SNAPSHOT” in the version of the exported packages - i.e. org.apache.camel;version=“2.18.0” The bad-maven-plugin can be configured to do this by adding a “packageinfo” file for every exported package Do we need to keep the “.SNAPSHOT” in the exported package versions?
