wrt. automatically setting the Export-Package list from the packages in embedded jar neither the bundleplugin or Bnd Tool do this - the bundleplugin sets Export-Package to be the list of packages in your source directories, unless you set it explicitly what you're doing above is basically what the bundleplugin Embed-Dependency instruction does (the code I linked to in my earlier post does nothing to the Export-Package settings) perhaps you want to use the -exportcontents instruction? this has a similar effect on the exported packages as Export-Package, but with one important difference: it doesn't pull classes into the bundle or affect the contents, it just alters the exported packages for example: Export-Package: * inlines all classes/resources on your classpath whereas: -exportcontents: * export all packages contained in the bundle without affecting the contents now if the jars you're embedding are bundles and you want their Export-Package settings combined in the mega-bundle then neither the Bnd Tool or the bundleplugin support this, but it might be possible to add it as a feature (to either Bnd or the bundleplugin) > Is this something that can be accomplished by BND alone?
