Dan, My fevered fantasy of how this could work is that I'd be able to take the contents of the local repository (muse-core.jar, for example), un-jar it, replace the manifest with an OSGi-licious one, and then re-jar the whole thing, so that I'd wind up with a set of bundles. This is pretty easy in ant, and I was hoping it would be pretty easy in maven. It looks like I can run basic ant tasks under maven, so I'm thinking of heading that way.
Do you know of any to get the local repository location as an environment variable? I can't find any doc on how to communicate that kind of information to ANT. I've joined the maven user's list, so I can post my noobie questions there.

I've put the XML in the POMs (commented out) and am waiting for that release so we can start using it. Maven has a way to include resource files and metadata (META-INF) files in the build of each JAR (POM). I do this for the .properties files. I think it is possible for us to put the proper manifest file (with OSGi goodness) into the repository and then have Maven pick it up and include it in the JAR. So far the examples I've seen relate to user-defined (non-Manifest.mf) files, but it's worth a shot. Then all of the JAR files would be OSGi bundles. If you'd like to take all of the JARs in Muse and make one OSGi bundle out of them, it would probably be best to run the build as-is, then create a script that copies {local-repository}/muse/*/2.0.0-M1-SNAPSHOT/*.jar into one directory and JARs them up. I'm not sure if this was your ultimate goal or if the previous paragraph covers that. Dan Dan Jemiolo IBM Corporation Research Triangle Park, NC +++ I'm an engineer.
