Hey Richard. The thing about the latest example
(<[artifact-name]>[file,file,...]</[artifact-name]>) is that Maven
automatically creates a Map containing the artifact-files associations.
The initial notation is probably not natural to an experienced Maven
user and requires transforming the Maven-created inlinedArtifacts List
to a Map.
Another example:
<inlinedArtifacts>
<bootstrap>
org/apache/catalina/loader/*,
org/apache/catalina/startup/catalina.properties,
org/apache/catalina/launcher/CatalinaLaunchFilter.class
</bootstrap>
<commons-logging/>
</inlinedArtifacts>
This is all set to go.

Actually, now that I understand your original '@' syntax, I don't mind
it since it is simple...I suppose we could debate which character to
use...maybe ';' would appear more OSGi-like...other people might have
thoughts on that.

I talked with Richard Hall a bit about this feature. I wanted to get
everyone's take. The idea is to provide fine grain support for
inlined
artifacts where users may designate which files from a dependency jar
should be unrolled into the bundle. The feature would extend the
current <inlinedArtifacts> configuration.
An example:
<inlinedArtifacts>
<bootstrap>
org/apache/catalina/loader/*,org/apache/catalina/startup/catalina.proper
ties,org/apache/catalina/launcher/CatalinaLaunchFilter.class
</bootstrap>
<anotherDependencyJar>*</anotherDependencyJar>
(<anotherDependencyJar/>
might also work)
</inlinedArtifacts>
Based on the example above, bootstrap and anotherDependencyJar are
dependency jars. bootstrap has specific files to be included (all
others should be excluded). All contents of anotherDependencyJar will
be unrolled.
If anyone knows Maven better, is there a way to store array or List
objects within a Map via Maven's configuration element as oppose to
doing the comma-delimited thing?
An alternative approach, which is less of a diversion from the
existing
configuration stanza, suggests that to-be-included classes are listed
after the artifact and a token ("@"). An example is noted below in
the
original.
Thoughts?

What is the meaning of the "bootstrap@" portion of the syntax?

Hey there.
I've enhanced the OSGi Plugin for Maven 2.0 to support declaring
individual classes as dependencies. Currently the plugin only
supports
bundling dependencies at the jar level.
Currently we're using this internally. Is there interest in
including
this feature back-in into the main plugin?
Comments, suggestions, etc are welcome.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
...
<configuration>
<!-- designate classes to be include after "@" comma
delimited;
only designated classes will be included; TODO: wildcard
feature
-->
<inlinedArtifacts>
<inlinedArtifact>[EMAIL PROTECTED],org.apa
che.catalina.startup.CatalinaProperties</inlinedArtifact>
</inlinedArtifacts>
<manifestFile>../manifest-template.mf</manifestFile>
...
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
<!-- must designate jar containing individual class(es) as a
runtime
dependency -->
<dependency>
<groupId>tomcat</groupId>
<artifactId>bootstrap</artifactId>
<version>5.5.12</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Resulting jar:
../target 561$ jar tf bootstrap-0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
