I will move future discussions to the users list since there are a couple of
OSGi users there willing to put back their work, but here is what I propose
to use to add manifest entries:
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html . It
is a maven plugin based on the Bnd tool.

The Eclipse tooling I mentioned just helps to insert this into the pom.xml
at the correct plugins spot. Apart from PDE, generic OSGi runtime tooling in
Eclipse is not that great (There is Bndtools and Pax plugin to add a lot of
other containers than Equinox), but all IDE's have made an effort to add
OSGi tooling.

The maven3 migration can be performed separately, but I would like to avoid
re-doing all the manifest entry work or getting stuck in Maven 3 migration
and adding OSGi manifest entry issues blocking each-other.

The tricky META-INF/services and ServiceFactory issue will be better
discussed in the users list thread.

Cheers,

Tisham.
