Apologies for the slow response, but I've been out of the loop for a week or so... > Some feedback on the Felix M2 Plugin: > > 1) I don't like having my bundles named with the '-bundle' > appended.

That was just something quick and dirty to get something functional going. Remember, the current version of the plugin is v0.1.2 for a reason. ;) This was never intended to be a production *feature*. :) > 2) I couldn't figure out how to 'install' or 'deploy'.

We are still highly under-utilizing Maven at this point. It's just the start... So far the plugin only has one goal, which is "osgi:osgi-jar" > 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.

Just create an issue for any feature you'd like to see. At some point, I'm hoping there will be other developers besides myself working on the plugin. :)
