Embed-Dependency, Include-Resource and inline
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-472
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-472
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
            Reporter: Alin Dreghiciu


When using <Embed-Dependency> maven bundle plugin adds the necessary entries to 
Include-Resource bnd instruction. This entries are added by appending them to 
the end of Include-Resource string. This works fine by most of the cases but 
this will not allow an override of bundle resources due to the fact that the 
Include-Resource entries will be processed in the order specified so if I 
include a resource that exists also in the inlined dependencies, the resource 
will be overridden by the one in the dependency.
E.g.

I have a dependency (jar) that includes a class such as foo/Bar.class. Now if I 
want to override that class by my own I can do that by adding something like:
Include-Resource: foo/Bar.class=target/classes/foo/Bar.class. But when I use 
the Embed dependency my specified Bar.class will be overridden by the one in 
the dependency.

To be able to do this I suggest to use the same way of working as for 
{maven-resources}, let's say {maven-dependencies} that is expanded 
automatically to the necessary embed dependency entries. And to be compatible 
with current implementation in the placeholder {maven-dependencies} is not 
present then append it to the end of Include-Resource (as till now).

In this way I can do something like Include-Resource: {maven-dependencies}, 
foo/Bar.class=target/classes/foo/Bar.class.
