There has been some work done to enable Maven to build OSGi bundles (you see that discussed here). To the extent that Eclipse is just an OSGi system, you should be able to use the Maven function to create bundles that run in Eclipse. Reality is however that the current Maven tooling is does not handle all the things Eclipse needs (fragments, platform-specific code, features, generating source bundles, ...). There are some people in the Eclipse Kepler and Buckminster projects looking at building Eclipse things using Maven. You might want to check there.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Maven or Eclipse plugins to answer. -> richard -----Original Message----- From: Peter Pipenbacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: Building Eclipse Plugins With Felix Date: Thu 23. Nov 2006 6:03 Size: 615 bytes To: felix-dev@incubator.apache.org Hi, I am looking for a way to build Eclipse plug ins using Maven2 to benefit from the features and plug ins available for Maven. That would be much nicer compared to the headless builds using scripting and the Eclipse releng package. Can Felix be used to build Eclipse plug ins right now? Or is it intended to be used for this purpose in the future?
