----------------------------------------
Hi Costin - how are you wrapping the JTA artifact?
If you're using the Private-Package:* technique then yes, resources will not
get copied because Bnd only sees classes in packages.
You should use Include-Resource to instruct Bnd to add non-class resources such
as license files - thankfully there is a very simple way to do this with the
latest snapshot of the bundle-plugin. If you add the artifact to be wrapped as
an optional dependency then you can use the <Embed-Dependency> instruction to
inline the contents inside the final bundle.
( this basically translates to an Include-Resource entry for the artifact, with
optional setting to get Bnd to inline instead of embed )
You can then use the new <_exportcontents> instruction to export the contents
of the bundle without affecting the calculation, ie:
<_exportcontents>*</_exportcontents>
This acts like Export-Package, except it doesn't pull classes into the final
bundle - it just affects the manifest generation and was added explicitly to
help when wrapping artifacts where you may not know what packages are inside
them.
See the attached pom file, where I use this to wrap the Geronimo JTA jar as
well as the docs for the new embed / Bnd instructions:
http://felix.apache.org/site/maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html (search for
Embedding Dependencies)

HTH (btw, the example pom was generated using Pax-Construct then tweaked to
remove references to the pax-plugin)

> This one needs some thinking - the BND tool has a 'pull' approach, which
