AW: Generating manifest with maven-bundle-plugin

[Hampel, Michael]

 
Hello John,

For me a typical use case is when working with an Eclipse RCP
application where Eclipse needs the Manifest file exploded to
run workspace plugins self contained.
That's how I use the plugin to create my bundle jar plus
the exploded Manifest in a META-INF folder:

<!-- OSGi plugin to create MANIFEST.MF and bundle jar -->
      <plugin>    
        <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>              
        <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>        
        <configuration>
          <manifestLocation>META-INF</manifestLocation>
          <instructions>            
            <Export-Package>com.myPackage.*</Export-Package>                    
 
          </instructions>          
        </configuration>
        <executions> 
          <execution> 
            <goals> 
              <goal>manifest</goal> 
            </goals> 
          </execution> 
        </executions>                
      </plugin> 

HTH,

Michael

Betreff: Generating manifest with maven-bundle-plugin

I see that functionality has been added to the maven-bundle-plugin for 
bundleAll and for generating manifests.  How and why would I use the  
'manifest' goal in the latest maven-bundle-plugin? 

Can anyone give a typical use case and show an example of how to use it?

thanks,

John
