This plugin is very nice and offer much more features :)
But this is again another plugin for packaging osgi bundle with Maven.
maven-eclipse-plugin is going to manage Eclipse PDE projects (so OSGi) and soon
maven-jar-plugin will be able to handle osgi manifest headers too.
Would it be possible to merge all these efforts to build a better
maven-jar-plugin ?
Well, my goal is to have this new plugin replace Felix' old plugin, so
that will hopefully take care of that. The maven-jar-plugin is intended
to add reasonable default OSGi headers to generated JARs. The new Felix'
plugin is intended to allow you to fine-tune the attributes. It might be
possible to merge these two in the long run, but in the short run they
serve different purposes...besides we need something now in Felix, so we
cannot wait for maven to integrate such support.
As for maven-eclipse-plugin, I would expect that this would be
Eclipse-specific, but I don't know anything about it.
