My guess is this: <quote>
If so that would be great news; what we really wanted to do is have a situation like: - org.geotools.main plugin -- contains gt-main-2.6-SNAPSHOT.jar -- wants to process a factory SPI (looking for every jar with a services file for "org.opengis.filter.Function") </quote> It seems you're trying to wrap a plain old JAR in an OSGi bundle. So you would deliver an org.geotools.main_2.6.SNAPSHOT.jar bundle (aka Eclipse plugin). When you unzip this outer JAR, you get the OSGi manifest and the plain old gt-main-2.6-SNAPSHOT.jar. This wrapping is not really required - after all, an OSGi bundle is nothing but a JAR with some extra manifest headers. If you simply add the extra headers to the MANIFEST.MF in gt-main*.jar, then your gt-main*.jar _is_ an OSGi bundle, and you won't even break anything for people putting this JAR on their plain old classpath. The difference is that your META-INF/services/whatever is now a resource in a JAR and no longer hidden in a JAR within a JAR. Ok, I'll give this a try with gt-main and gt-renderer, which may take a couple of days, but I'll get back to you on this.
