I found that I can use my maven repository as my OBR by adding repository.xml. I copied http://oscar-osgi.sf.net/obr2/repository.xml to ~/.m2/repository, then manually edited it to match the bundles that I've installed in my maven repository.

Clearly, this is manually intensive and highly error-prone. A Maven plugin that parsed a bundle's MANIFEST.MF to load the <resource> elements in repository.xml would be ideal. I still don't know exactly how and where to get all of the specific pieces of data since the OBR documentation appears a bit out of date. Perhaps Richard or Peter can answer this.

take.

Personally, I used to have cron job on the server, so a any upload by Maven arriving would be examined and meta extracted and build up the OBR xml. Quite
messy, and decided to kill it off.
