I am quite new to the OSGi and the project I am working on will be based on 
OSGi. 

Obviously, one of our considerations is the loadbuild. I did some googling on 
this subject to asses 
what changes we have to make in our existing loadbuild environment to build 
osgi bundles and I want
to ask some questions to the people in this list to get a general feeling of 
what people are doing 
for the loadbuilds.

Currently, the project I am working on uses maven2 for the loadbuilds. May be 
it is a naïve questions to ask,
but I am trying to see is a viable option for building osgi components without 
making big changes to the existing 
loadbuild infrastructure.

By the way we are using equinox osgi container, not quite sure if this matters 
from the loadbuild infrastructure point of view.

Based on my googling, I understand that there is a maven-osgi plugin which our 
current loadbuild doesn't use this plugin.

Now, here is my basic fundamental question :

- Is it possible to use standard maven2 (without the maven-osgi plugin) to 
generate osgi bundles, given that we will hand-write the
MANIFEST.MF files, rather than using maven-osgi plugin to generate them ? Is 
there any cases people can think of where this approach
wouldn't work technically ? I understand that this approach might manifest some 
maintenance issues, but I am just trying to understand if it can get
us started.

Thanks,

Gul
