This feels like a bad practice? I feel uncomfortable with the version qualifier being (ab)used for identity. If two bundles are compiled for different environments (I assume this is for generic info?) then they should have different bundle symbolic names. If you use Import- Package, the BSN is irrelevant for dependents.

Kind regards,

           Priority: Minor


I have a use-case for using classifier to create multiple bundles with different symbolic names but the same Bundle-Version.

This is not currently possible, as the maven-bundle-plugin automatically appends the classifier to the Bundle-Version.

Could some switch be added, to disable the appending of classifier to Bundle-Version?

Thanks,

Derek

the use-case for adding this feature was for people who
wanted to produce JDK5 and JDK1.4 versions of the _same_ bundle, so
because the symbolic name would be the same, the classifier must then
be added to the version to distinguish them.

it is the intended behaviour for the above use-case, but we could add a switch to turn it off - it's difficult to detect whether the classifier should be added to the version automatically, because each bundling process is run in isolation

there's also no way to distinguish where the bundle version came from in Maven (ie. general config or specific to the classifier) once it reaches the bundleplugin, so a new switch is the only safe way to detect the different use- case...
