Hi,
These are closely related to each other.
If it is to be something that only ever produces a JAR, then removing the
-bundle sounds fine and you'd switch to a <packaging>osgi-bundle</packaging>
technique, in which case install and deploy will just work, and will involve
compilation, etc.
I very much like the idea of specifying by 'packaging' in the POM. It's
one less thing source users have to remember to do on the command line.

If sticking with the -bundle notation so that you can produce both a regular
and bundled version of a JAR, then project.addAttachedArtifact(...) should
be used to enabled install/deploy support. Both the bundle and the original
JAR will be pushed together. The part that does the osgi modifications
should be put into the lifecycle (probably part of the resources or
packaging phases), allowing compilation and installation all to happen in
one step.
Hope this helps, and I'll try and spend some more time reviewing the plugin
soon now that the m2 beta is out.
Cheers,
Brett

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.
