I set the plugin with "<_dsannotations>*</_dsannotations>" and set extensions in the parent POM and so no child pom that is using the defaults does need to contain the maven-bundle-plugin section at all. > So I think the extraction is best for users of eclipse and bndtools and less > valuable for other IDEs.

Thank you again for your explanations. I (!) see no real pro and no real cons. So IMHO it is just a personal decision if someone want to use bnd.bnd files or not and perhaps the IDE that is used to configure stuff and work with. Best regards, Markus
