   > The rest may be arguably true, but this is widely used in very large 
projects with MANY jars (please, if you dare, look at [this 
repo](https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal) and search for 
`-includeresource`).
   
   And it is using.... 
[`maven-bundle-plugin`](https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/8167e7875f59773e7737b7853a7dbf9c6ddeb406/modules/etl/talend/pom.xml#L87)
   ;-)
   
   Don't get me wrong its all possible for sure, it was just asked *why* people 
using it and I gave some examples, you should not assume that every maven user 
that wants to wrap a small (or medium) jar can afford to dive into the details 
of bnd instruction magic, those people only search for a fast way to archive 
their goal without much hassle and the plugin is offering that for them.
   
   So if these one-liner examples above can be transformed into a one-liner bnd 
instruction (or better maven configuration option) it is fine and probably 
there is just a lack of let people know, if I look here:
   
   https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/tree/master/maven-plugins/bnd-maven-plugin
   
   I don't find any good hint to archive things similar to 
`felix-maven-plugin`, (e.g. migration guide) nor how to archive the embedding 
in a similar way.
