I just starting playing with bnd this evening. I will definitely
investigate this further.
Thanks for the tip. :)

The bnd program is also an ant task. It should be quite
straightforward to take the pom and transfer this to a bnd file, the
<instruction> elements of the maven plugin are the same as the bnd
files headers. Your ant script then only has to compile the sources
and run the bnd task.

Hi Tim,
I have none, sorry, as I stopped using ant the moment I went maven :-)

Is it possible for maven-ant-plugin to generate a build.xml file that
will create a Felix bundle?
Without changing my pom.xml, I ran "mvn ant:ant: to generate a
build.xml file. Running ant on that build.xml does create a jar file
that installs and resolves in Felix but it certainly doesn't execute.
Documentation on maven-ant-plugin is a bit slim. It just describes
the one goal (ant:ant) with its two parameters (localRepository and
project||).
Perhaps I'm expecting too much from maven-ant-plugin?
