for completeness I should mention the Tycho project, which can do manifest-first or pom-first: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Tycho+project+overview as well as our very own Felix maven-bundle-plugin, which is more about re-using Maven details: http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html hope that hasn't muddied the waters... > To see an example of a sigil build in action you may want to check out > a recent blog post [2] I made which is actually related to our product > but uses a sigil build to create the necessary bundles. > > Very happy to receive feedback, issues or code contributions in this area > :) > > Regards, > > Dave > > [1] http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-sigil.html > [2] http://chronological-thought.blogspot.com/2009/11/hello-tatooine.html > > On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 1:24 PM, Jochen Mader <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Quite simply: I don't like my build process. > > I am looking for a way of doing builds that stays true with the OSGi > > philosophy. > > I got my builds going with Maven, BND and OBR.
