Ok, I committed the new Maven Bundle Plugin. I created some docs for the
new plugin here:

I think the plugin is in pretty good shape now. In my opinion, we should
probably replace the old plugin with this new one, but we don't need to
make that decision right now since we have both in the repo.
As part of committing the new plugin, I updated several of the
subprojects to use the new plugin and everything looks pretty good,
except...
The catch is that Maven has a bug that appears when you have multiple
packaging plugins in the same project. We saw this bug first appear with
iPOJO, which has its own packaging plugin. The symptom of this bug is
that the generated JAR files do not have a .jar suffix, but instead are
named after the packaging type. We were able to avoid this bug by
putting iPOJO at the end of our modules, because we don't have any
modules in the repo that use the iPOJO plugin. However, with this new
plugin, we have bundles trying to use both the old and the new plugins
at the same time and this made the problem reappear.
This is truly a major bug with maven. Here it is folks
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1682
will everyone on the felix mail list please go to the above Jira and
vote to impeach this bug. The vote count now stands at 10. Consider it
the November 'Felix get out the vote campaign';-)
I could not find
any way around it from within Maven...thus, I had to resort to extreme
measures.
What I did was split out top-level pom.xml file into two files, one
containing subprojects that use the new plugin and those using the old
plugin. I then created an Ant build.xml file that will build both files.
You can do "ant clean", "ant install", or just "ant" to do "clean
install". Until Maven fixes this bug, I don't see another way around
it...unless everyone does like the new plugin better, then we can
convert all subprojects to the new plugin and go back to one pom.xml file.
Otherwise, I am very pleased with the new plugin...
