After taking a look at the mavenization so far, comparing some manifests between Ant and Maven builds, there was one thing that caught my attention. A lot of bundles generated by Maven seem to export packages, even without explicit statements in osgi.bnd or pom.xml files.
Looking at the documentation of the plugin at: http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html There is a section about default behavior, which states: > <Export-Package> is now assumed to be the set of packages in your local Java > sources, excluding the default package '.' and any packages containing 'impl' > or 'internal'. Personally, I really don't like a default that exports anything unless you explicitly state you want to do this. Exporting something should be a very concious decision, and not exporting anything should be the default. I definitely want to see in my pom.xml or osgi.bnd what is exported. Luckily the plugin also provides a way to override this default behavior: > It is possible to override any of these values (except > Bundle-ManifestVersion) just by specifying the desired value in the plugin > configuration section of the POM file. I would be in favor of adding a single line to our global ACE configuration that states: <Export-Package></Export-Package> Greetings, Marcel
