Hi, thanks to Justin we now have a nice way of defining the bundle list while at the same time being fully integrated in the Maven lifecycle (see SLING-2273). Therefore I reopened SLING-2265 and SLING-2194.
I really think we should just provide one way for defining a bundle list - as the current way with the xml file has no downsides anymore, I don't think we should support the other two. There has always been the argument that having the configuration inside the plugin configuration in the pom allows to use tools like m2e etc. but that's only true to some degree. If we want support for our plugin, we need to write a m2e plugin (if that's the right term). If we really want to go down this way, I would opt for using exactly the same xml format we use for the external file but just inside the configuration of the plugin. So people have just to learn one syntax. But I really would only go this way if someone is providing the ide integration plugin as well - without that, I don't see any point. Especially as the configuration blows up the pom. Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler [email protected]
