Author: carlos URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=468338 Log: Add todo to move OSGi manifest work to use Felix
The main reason to create a different goal is that the Felix osgi plugin actually generates the manifest during packaging: when working with eclipse this is not acceptable, since PDE will only work with an existing Manifest. I had a few discussions with people from the Cocoon team at the ApacheCon EU: they extended the eclipse plugin in order to simply keep some bits of the manifest in sync with the pom, without having to use the felix plugin in order to fully generate it. This made possible to fully use PDE when developing osgi bundles. There is surely some code that could be shared between the eclipse and Felix plugin, but at the moment the purpose is a bit different: the Felix plugin is more useful to package an artifact as an osgi bundle, the eclipse plugin helps in working with osgi-bundle maven projects with PDE. Of course, sharing parts of the code would be great: what about asking Felix people to move their plugin to the maven sandbox area and to create something shared that could be used to manipulate osgi manifest in different plugins? fabrizio --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
