Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-308:
---------------------------------------
Those are valid points, however, this syntax is THE standard OSGi header syntax
and it is used by the plugin for nearly all of its other instruction tag
elements. Are you arguing for changing everything? That would not be my choice.
> Add support for embedding dependency JAR files to bundle plugin
> ---------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FELIX-308
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-308
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
> Reporter: Richard S. Hall
>
> The following is a proposal for how to support embedding dependency JAR files
> in the bundle plugin. The general approach is a slightly modified version of
> a proposal by Peter Kriens. The idea is to add a mechanism to deal with
> embedding JARs that is very similar to how the old maven plugin worked, but
> doing it in a slightly more generic way than the old plugin by adding the
> following instruction:
> embed-dependency ::= clause ( ',' clause ) *
> clause ::= MATCH ( ';' attr '=' MATCH )
> attr ::= 'groupId' | 'artifactId' | 'version' | 'scope'
> MATCH ::= <globbed regular expressions>
> This instruction would be used to match the specified Maven dependencies for
> embedding. Any matching dependency would have its JAR file embedded onto the
> resulting bundle JAR file and it would be appended to the Bundle-ClassPath
> header after ".".
> This would allow people to easily achieve the same behavior as the old plugin
> by simply doing:
> <embed-dependency>*;scope=compile,*;scope=runtime</embed-dependency>
> Thus, this instruction would automatically embed any maven dependencies that
> were of scope "compile" or "runtime" and append them to the bundle class path.
