FYI, artifacts with bundle packaging would need to use the 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT bundleplugin because 1.0.0 doesn't handle the includes/excludes filtering of resources - if you use 1.0.0 you'll probably find the entire directory contents appearing under META-INF in the final bundle file :( WDYT? apart from the issue above, I'm in favour of using this to reduce duplicates Carsten > > -- > Carsten Ziegeler > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Cheers, Stuart
