Hi Marshall, yes, this is more of an issue with the maven-eclipse-plugin rather than the maven-bundle-plugin, so you should really ask this question over on the maven mailing list btw, I do have a modified version of the eclipse mojo that does do this additional export, it's part of the maven-pax-plugin from Pax-Construct: http://www.ops4j.org/projects/pax/construct ( quickstart, general documentation ) http://www.ops4j.org/projects/pax/construct/maven-pax-plugin/index.html ( usual maven plugin documentation ) it also tries to avoid using project links, etc. to make things more portable HTH I did scan the eclipse:eclipse (maven-eclipse-plugin) source to see if I > could see where they might deal with exported="true", but didn't get any > hits. > > Thanks for any insights. > > -Marshall Schor (Committer on the UIMA incubator project, trying to get > our Eclipse plugin builds to be more maven - standardized) > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Cheers, Stuart
