Well, from my understanding of the situation, I think that embedding the
native library should be reasonably straightforward using the Bundle
Plugin...you just need to copy the native library into your bundle using
<Include-Resource>, assuming that the native library is a resource in
your project.
The trickier part is dealing with the embedded JAR file, since Bundle
Plugin doesn't handle embedding JARs very well at present. There was a
proposal on how to deal with this in this mailing list thread:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/felix-dev/200701.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I guess we just need to actually implement the proposal now and that
would solve your embedded JAR issue...I will create a JIRA issue out of
this message and we can try to convince someone to work on it.
In the meantime, you could use the old plugin to embed your dependencies...
Of course, all of this assumes that your embedded JAR files are maven
dependencies in the first place...if they are just resources in your
project, then you could use <Include-Resource> for them too.

I'm trying to build a bundle that has both embedded jar files and a
native code library. I've been looking for documentation/examples of
how to build such a beast using maven and I've been unsuccessful. As
an added bonus, I'd like to figure out how to use 'mvn
eclipse:eclipse' to create the Eclipse files necessary to build this
beast inside Eclipse. I've created a project from scratch in Eclipse
and can successfully build it there but I'd like to 'mavenize' the
process.
I did find the "simple" bundle in the Felix repo and I even found
Felix-61 which should answer all my questions when it is completed.
Can anyone point out any documentation/examples that might help?
Would someone wise in the ways of Maven/OSGi be willing to work on
Felix-61?
Thanks,
Tim
