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? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: maven-bundle-plugin roadmap From: Stuart McCulloch <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Thu 16 Jun 2011 01:04:08 PM CDT > FYI, I'm doing a triage of maven-bundle-plugin issues this week with the aim > of fixing small bugs before staging a new maintenance release. > > I'll also be planning what features should go into the next major release, so > now's the time to vote / flag issues so they get some attention :) > > -- > Cheers, Stuart >
