You wanted to have a function that could be called with a Properties
object.
Manifest getManifest( Properties p,
File target /* jar | dir */ ) {
if ( ! p.containsKey("Export-Package") )
p.put("Export-Package", "*" );
Analyzer analyzer = new Analyzer();
analyzer.setJar(target);
analyzer.setProperties(properties);
return analyzer.calcManifest();
}
The library that makes this possible can be download from
http://www.aqute.biz/php/tools/jars/bnd.jar
This will ultimately need to be placed in the remote repository so
please put a version in the JAR name and create a POM for the
artifact and I will take care of the rest.
I have the extension for the JAR plugin so as long as you hand me a
Properties object it will work transparently.
The properties can be empty. In that case it will export all and
calculate the imports (imports=*). If you allow the pom to set the
import and export fields, then users can defined attributes and
directives on the headers. E.g.
<export-package>aQute.util.jar;version=1.4</export-package>
Or they can actually limit the imports (default is import anything):
<import-package>!com.acme.*,*</import-package>
This will not import com.acme packages even if some code refers to
them.
Will this work?
For the first phase of this I will activate the transparent insertion
of manifest information. I still have not created an extension
configuration mechanism for this. Basically this is an extension of
the JAR plugin. That should not take me long. I will bring it up on
the Maven developers list and I should be able to have these changes
in the JAR plugin for the next release.

Kind regards,
