few suggestions:

1) currently, <unpackBundle>true</unpackBundle>  works only with
<goal>bundle</goal>

this is a slow step with m2e, since it seems it really builds a bundle
jar first and then unpacks it;
I think it would help to make <unpackBundle> available for
<goal>manifest</goal>
and avoid building actual bundle jar, just fetch dependencies and place
them in target/classes

in the spirit of fast incremental builds in eclipse, you know :-)

2) currently, default m2e goals for resource save are: process-resources
resources:testResources
these are "before" process-classes, which is a default binding for
maven-scr-plugin:scr and maven-bundle-plugin:manifest
and hence serviceComponents.xml & MANIFEST.MF are NOT updated when you
edit & save your scr java component;
you must run project->clean instead;

if you have any say at sonatype, can you please ask them to expose extra
global m2e config option
"goals for *.java save" with default mapping to process-classes; that
should resolve this nicely?
