I have not followed the Felix's Maven-OSGi plugin for a quite some time
now. Wondering (if and) how usable is it for Eclipse Plugin/RCP
development since plugins are essentially OSGi bundles?
Is more work forthcoming on these lines? There was some discussion on
the Maven mailing list about coordinating with Eclipse PDE team but I
haven't run into any more updates on this.
Anyone on this list?
Thanks in advance,
Rahul

I can help get it started during the evenings this week. Just let me
know when you want to freeze the code. I still need to flatten the
tools directory, so I'll do that at the same time.
I had also thought that maybe we should set up a Felix "subproject
template" subproject so that new subprojects can simply copy it into
their directory...this might be helpful since we have a handful of
outstanding contributions that will hopefully get their paperwork
situations finalized soon.
I wonder if a maven archetype might help.
Also note that we've learned some valuable lessons from trying to
follow the proposed maven layout when it comes to the artifactIds and
groupIds used over at Directory. Like for example we should not be
using the fully qualified package name for both the groupId and the
artifactId. For GID this works for AID this is a disaster.
Flat however is generally a good idea. I learned this the hard way.
Laters,
