Hi,
I think it would be good if one was allowed to use ${pom.version} for version
attribute in Export-Package. There are two issues as far as I can see;
1. -SNAPSHOT is not allowed at all.
2. Does the package version evolve at some other rate than the bundle? And
should one perhaps only use the first two digit groups for the package
version.
I also think that
* <bundleSymbolicName> should default to ${pom.artifactId}
* <bundleName> should default to ${pom.name}
* <bundleDescription> should default to ${pom.description}
* <bundleVendor> should default to ${pom.organization.name}
* <bundleVersion> should default to ${pom.version} (see above).
* bundleContactAddress should default to ${pom.organization.url}
* <bundleUrl> and/or <bundleUpdateLocation> should default to ${pom.url}
* <bundleCopyright should default to
Copyright ${pom.inceptionYear}, ${pom.organization.name}
* A whole bunch of other properties to read from file(s) in the project
directory instead, including <exportPackage>, <excludeImport>
Or perhaps utlize the <properties> tag in the pom main section...
If that is done, then one can move the whole <plugin> section of the POM to a
(grand)*parent pom, which I think simplifies 'standard cases', still allowing
for the current form.
Willing to do the work, but before wasting my time, I would like to get some
feedback.
WDYT?
Cheers
Niclas
