Hello John, For me a typical use case is when working with an Eclipse RCP application where Eclipse needs the Manifest file exploded to run workspace plugins self contained. That's how I use the plugin to create my bundle jar plus the exploded Manifest in a META-INF folder:
<!-- OSGi plugin to create MANIFEST.MF and bundle jar --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId> <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <manifestLocation>META-INF</manifestLocation> <instructions> <Export-Package>com.myPackage.*</Export-Package> </instructions> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>manifest</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> HTH, Michael -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: John E.

How and why would I use the 'manifest' goal in the latest maven-bundle-plugin? Can anyone give a typical use case and show an example of how to use it? thanks, John
