Hi,

Package binding together with m-manifest-p sound like a bit of packaging,
it could be m-shade-p then there as well.
But I understand that you want to provide a bigger comfort to the users.
Having m-manifest-p would force creation of Manifest and the other like BND
plugins to merge the content instead of creating it from scratch or the
m-manifest-p would have to perform merge.

Instead the *ManifestResourceTransformer *looks like fine solution to me in
standard Maven plugins.

It seems you want to extend other non-standard plugins as well and then
*m-manifest-p* would be necessary to have but I guess we will receive new
feature requests in it.

Cheers
Tibor
