Kjetil,
I have been using the Felix Bunde plug-in for Maven in various projects. The
most straightforward approach is going for *bundle* packaging. But
unfortunately a lot of other Maven plug-ins do not understand this and will
stop working, hence it is fairly common to stick to *jar* packaging and add
a build specification for the Felix Bundle plug-in like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>create-bundle</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>bundle</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>bundle-install</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
In the Lift case this was the way I went initially until David recognized
that the output from the compression of the JavaScript libraries was missing
in the artifacts. Well, the Felix Bundle plug-in just did not pick these. As
I could not spot the reason immediately, I had to go for this way which is
very valid, because the results are as expected.
Of course I would like to stick to the more common approach described above.
Maybe you want to take a look at the POMs and analyze if/how the Felix
Bundle plug-in can pick the compressed JavaScript libraries?
Cheers
Heiko
