Some feedback on the Felix M2 Plugin:
1) I don't like having my bundles named with the '-bundle' appended. I
am used to bundles being jars with nothing in the naming specifying
that. Since the manifest attributes of normal jars and osgi jars don't
conflict, there is no harm generating a single jar that is usable as
both a non-osgi jar and a bundle.
2) I couldn't figure out how to 'install' or 'deploy'. Are these
features in there yet?
3) I would prefer to compile and bundle in a single step. With the
maven-osgi-bundle my most-used goal is 'maven -o clean osgi:install'
which would clean, compile, and install my bundle to my local repo. I
then install or update in the framework directly out of the maven repo.
Of course if you note any of these issues as bugs/new features I'll be
sure to add them to JIRA. I was pretty easily able to get started with
M2 and the Felix M2 Plugin and compile and bundle one of my projects. I
think 'install' support is the main showstopper for me.
