Hi Tom, I’m very glad that you’re enjoying the baselining feature of Bndtools so much!
I think your expectations are reasonable but we just aren’t quite there with bnd/Maven integration. Bndtools is able to give you immediate baselining errors, but it currently only works when bndlib is called directly by Bndtools. In a Maven workspace using M2Eclipse, the bundle is built by maven-bundle-plugin or bnd-maven-plugin, which of course use bndlib internally, but Bndtools is isolated from it by a layer of Maven. The bnd-maven-plugin is run incrementally by M2E but we don’t yet have a way to catch the baselining errors from bnd-maven-plugin and report them in the IDE. In the future we *may* be able to do this, I’m not sure. So, you won’t get immediate feedback on versioning errors but I would still expect the build to be affected as follows: 1. Package versions will be checked and will fail the build when they are incorrect. This is a feature of bnd surfaced through the bnd-maven-plugin. 2. If you have released version 1.0.0. (i.e. non-SNAPSHOT) of a bundle with Maven then you will be able to build another 1.0.0 locally, but you will not be able to release it again — this is a built-in feature of Maven. At this point you will be forced to bump your bundle version, so it is slightly less powerful than bnd baselining which will not even permit you to build locally bundle 1.0.0 if it has a delta against the released bundle. Still, you don’t have to *remember* to bump your versions, the build tool will force you to do it eventually. If a Maven developer would like to check and correct my understanding — particularly on point 2 above — please do so!
