Hi folks,
Currently there are 8 open issues for the maven-bundle-plugin. I've written up a
short one-line status for each of them (inc. # of votes, whether a patch exists)
along with a suggested course of action in another table. (see attached file)
The suggested actions are all MHO, so apologies if I've misrepresented any
of the issues, or the patches. Please post a follow-up message pointing out
any mistakes, updates or alternative suggestions.
Basically I recommend looking at FELIX-199 first, as it also solves several
other issues. The one thorny area is over maven dependencies: whether to
get the user to handle this outside in the pom with other plugins, or to add
options to the bundle plugin for the sake of convenience (FELIX-255/262).

repository
FELIX-218 | Minor | 0 | YES | NEW: Support BND directives in pom.xml
instructions
----------+----------+-------+-------+----------------------------------------------------------

and MANIFEST.MF
FELIX-257 | Major | 1 | NO | NEW: Manifest generation outside the

KEY | SUGGESTED ACTION
==========+======================================================================================
|
FELIX-199 | WALKTHROUGH then TEST+COMMIT: would solve several issues, but
non-trivial patch.
| Recommend looking at this first out of all patches as it has 3
votes and several
| people willing to help test.
|
----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
FELIX-261 | INVESTIGATE: need to look into maven resource handling wrt.
non-standard target dir
|
----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
FELIX-219 | INVESTIGATE: mostly additions of new goals, but requires patch to
bundlerepository
| which might impact existing bundle repositories (someone needs to
clarify this)
|
----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
FELIX-218 | TEST+COMMIT: trivial, won't affect valid manifest entries (which
start with alphanum)
|
----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
FELIX-247 | CLOSE: MANIFEST.MF requirement covered by FELIX-199
|
----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
FELIX-257 | CLOSE: MANIFEST.MF requirement covered by FELIX-199. The build.xml
part of the patch
| relies on code copied from ant-plugin, which I don't believe is the
best solution.
| (Why not just run the current maven-ant-plugin goal 'ant:ant' to
get the build.xml?)
|
----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
FELIX-253 | NEED MORE INFO: the maven pom snippet posted is not the suggested
way of excluding
| transitive dependencies - you're supposed to add <exclusion> tags.
Have commented
| on issue asking reporter to try this approach.
|
----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
FELIX-255 | CLOSE: this use-case can be handled by using the
maven-dependency-plugin to unpack
| the single dependency into the build folder. There is also talk of
simplifying the
| exclusion of transitive dependencies in Maven 2.1, by using
dependency profiles.
|
| (related to FELIX-262, which can also be solved with the
maven-dependency-plugin)
|
| If using the maven-dependency-plugin is not an option then the
whole dependency
| area of the bundle plugin needs investigation to allow the use of
provided scope
| dependencies that are not currently picked up by the plugin (see
FELIX-262).
