Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-4378:
-----------------------------------------
Looking at the code, I remember now the logic :)
If a label or description is missing, %{name}.name resp %{name}.description is
set as the label/description - this is the old support for a single
metatype.properties file which is maintained separately.
At the end of the generation, a new logic for supporting inlined labels and
descriptions run which checks if all labels/descriptions are inlined. So as
soon as it encounters a value starting with "%" it assumes the old behaviour is
used.
We can't change the first part as we have to be compatible. But we could add a
check whether a value for the key exists in a metatype.properties file and if
not, switch to the inlined version and generate some default value.
Or in short :) both of your issues have the same root cause. I'll try to get
this fixed somehow

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven SCR Plugin
> Reporter: james strachan

> Fix For: maven-scr-plugin 1.15.0
>
>
> I tried using 1.15.0 of the plugin and added some textual string values
> (which don't start with %) for label/description on @Component and @Property
> and they get generated into the metatype.xml file as text strings.
> I was hoping the XML would use "%foo.label" and "%foo.description" then
> generate a metatype.properties with the mapping of foo.label = "My Label" so
> that folks can add extra languages by just adding a new metatype file?
