With Eclipse 3.3, the temptation to use the osgi plugin framework is huge, and we would really like to utilize the osgi framework within our web app. Differences exist between the classic layout of a web app and where the osgi bundles exist (the Eclipse plugin jars existing under WEB-INF/eclipse instead of WEB-INF/lib, etc.). The only jar in the WEB-INF/lib is servletbridge.jar (OK, that makes me twitch that there isn't a version on that jar out of Eclipse; guess I am too used to the logical approach of Maven).
Main question is how to create the same war from an automated Maven build as Eclipse does. The PDE Maven plugin doesn't appear to do this. Anyone else attempting to create an osgi war from Eclipse and Maven at the same time? I'd rather not leave the "build" in Eclipse (IDE's doing builds also makes me twitch!). The ability for the build machine to have unexpected versions of plugins is a risk, and we would really like the ability to recreate a build from source control and Maven as we do with other war deliverables. Thanks.
