if you're using a recent version of the plugin then it should also write the manifest to target/classes/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF (unless of course you've used the manifestLocation setting to write it to a different location) > So the question is: can I somehow start bundle plugin standalone (at my > runtime) to generate manifest from the specified pom? > > I understand that I can use bnd at runtime, but I would like to avoid that > since all my OSGi meta is already in pom, so using bundle plugin would be a > better choice here. > > Thanks a lot! > > -- > Dmitry Skavish > -- Cheers, Stuart
