Getting Eclipse PDE to work with Maven is still not an easy task and the more material for google searches the better.
Re: mvn-eclipse-plugin problem with pde projects and linked resources
it all depends if you are going the maven bundle plugin route (which is POM-centric and the manifest is auto generated) or manifest first, where the manifest is generated by hand (eclipse tooling helps with this though) and the pom is also generated by hand but it has a much smaller role (to be exact, there is a way to generate the pom, but you generate it once and manage it by hand after, whereas in the first way you never manage the manifest and it gets regenerated every time you build, in fact, you don't even commit the manifest in your VCS). The major difference is where are the dependencies managed. So this is the first decision you will need to make, if you haven't already made it https://docs.sonatype.org/display/TYCHO/OSGiDevelopmentWithMaven http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11373009/should-i-use-pom-first-or-manifest-first-when-developing-osgi-application-with-m For the launcher to recognize the project as a bundle I think you just need the META-INF folder in the root of the project with an osgi-friendly MANIFEST.MF inside I'm not sure what you mean by Runnables, you mean a new launcher? the fact that you capitalise it makes me think of the java interface, but i don't see the connection good luck, Alejandro Endo | Software Designer/Concepteur de logiciels Miranda Technologies is a brand of Belden Inc.

Hello Alejandro, Thank you very much for the reply, but there is something I don't understand. I'm using Eclipse Kepler, which has m2e. I tried what you suggested.

I use pde + maven-bundle-plugin + osgi framework launcher but i don't use mvn-eclipse-plugin. You should be using m2e, which works completely different than m-eclipse-p.
