I am building eclipse plugins, and with Eclipse 3.1 these are essentially OSGI bundles
OSGI works from entries in the manifest, in particular Bundle-Classpath attribute I have a Mojo that reads the dependencies & updates the Bundle-Classpath of the created artifact (a jar in this case). What I then need to do is include all the dependent jars inside the main artifact (exploded or not) Obviously the assembly plugin suits my needs very well here, as it does all the work, but it also adds its own Manifest. I guess I saw an assembly simply as a 'superjar' but basically the same artifact as the project is meant to produce, just one that includes (transitively) all the dependent classes. Does that make sense?
