Hi all, I try to use the Maven Bundle Plugin to create a bundle that embed several other non-osgi jars. I'll take an example with the well known Apache Commons IO, but my real case is to be able to embed several internal libraries. If I use this pom.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 <http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0> " xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance> " xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 <http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0> http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd <http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd> "> <!-- General information --> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.sample</groupId> <artifactId>commons</artifactId> <packaging>bundle</packaging> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <description>OSGi bundelization of many externals commons libraries</description> <!-- Build --> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId> <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1.0</version> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <unpackBundle>false</unpackBundle> <instructions> <Embed-Dependency>commons-io;inline=false</Embed-Dependency> <_exportcontents>*</_exportcontents> </instructions> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <!-- Dependencies --> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>commons-io</groupId> <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId> <version>1.4</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> The generated Manifest is : (...) Export-Package: org.apache.commons.io.output;uses:="org.apache.commons .io",org.apache.commons.io.filefilter;uses:="org.apache.commons.io",o rg.apache.commons.io.comparator;uses:="org.apache.commons.io",org.apa che.commons.io.input;uses:="org.apache.commons.io",org.apache.commons .io;uses:="org.apache.commons.io.filefilter,org.apache.commons.io.out put" (...) Import-Package: org.apache.commons.io;version="1.4",org.apache.commons .io.comparator;version="1.4",org.apache.commons.io.filefilter;version ="1.4",org.apache.commons.io.input;version="1.4",org.apache.commons.i o.output;version="1.4" (...) My problem is that the Export-Package don't have the version="1.4" information automatically added. Is it a normal behavior ? Why can't the bundle plugin do that automatically ? it's done for the Import-Package ! Is there a special syntax that I haven't found in BND ? I know I can modify "manually" in the pom the _exportcontents directive by adding : <_exportcontents>*;version="1.4"</_exportcontents> but I like to apply the rule "Don't Repeat Yourself" : the version information is already in the dependency ! Also, if I add more and more dependencies to embed in this bundle, I would prefer if it's only a matter of adding a Maven dependency. Thanks a lot for your helps Regards David
