Ok, I'll see about digging in and understanding the code enough to where I can contribute. I can't promise anything of course as this will be on my own time, but I'll do my best, this is pretty important to me and to convince my group to adopt an OSGi architecture.
I'd like to pose my needs and make sure they're in line with what you guys see as necessary: 1. Pull all the dependencies as specified in the repository pom for an artifact. For instance, groupId=org.apache.jackrabbit,artifactId=jackrabbit-core has a number of dependencies specified in it's pom in the repo. The plugin needs to pull these dependencies and "do the right thing" whatever that means (simply include them?). (I'm picking on jackrabbit because it's sufficiently complex and it's a current need for me ;-)) 2. I should not have to specify dependency exclusions when the dependency is a bundle. For instance, my current understanding is that if I include my bundle as a dependency in another project, maven doesn't know enough about bundles so that it shouldn't take the dependencies of the included bundle dependency. 3. Ultimately I'd like the eclipse plugin to generate an OSGi plugin project for any bundle project. I'm not sure what this would mean or if it even would be part of the BND plugin, it's probably part of the eclipse plugin. What would make sense here? Would the eclipse plugin key off of <packaging>bundle</packaging> and generate an eclipse plugin project? Do these make sense? Any feedback on these?
