btw. my first contribution to the felix project.
Not much, but it is a start ;-)
Every little bit helps!
I just voted too...now it is up to 20...hopefully it will make a
difference, since it is a major pain.

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...
