Thanks for the quick reply Stuart,
I'll see if we can do something with -removeheaders. If not I might take
a look at the plugin source.
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi all,
I have noticed an odd behavior with the maven-bundle-plugin (using v.2.3.6)
that all system property that are set with upercase first letter as directly
injected into the manifest. For example I run this:
mvn -DFOO=bar install
And that causes my META-INF/MANIFEST.MF contains a FOO=bar property. If I
instead use -Dfoo=bar the same problem does not occur. My guess is that the
bundle plugin just forwards all properties to bnd, which will think this is a
normal manifest header.
Yes, all properties see by Maven are forwarded onto bnd so people can reference
them in bnd instructions or macros - and by default bnd adds any property that
starts with an upper-case letter to the manifest
You can tell bnd to remove headers using
-removeheaders: Foo, Bar, Example
in your osgi.bnd file, or
<_removeheaders>Foo, Bar, Example</_removeheaders>
in your pom.xml file - see http://www.aqute.biz/Bnd/Format
I guess most people won't even notice this since system propperties are
generally lower case, but in our build environment there are a lot of these
properties that unfortunately use upper case so my manifest files are all
cluttered with all kinds of strange headers.
My question is if there is a way to suppress it? Note that I can not easily
change the system properties that are already set.
Also is there some intention behind this behavior, or simply a bug that can be
address in a future version?
We don't know what properties someone might use in their instructions/macros,
so we just forward everything onto bnd - if you have any idea to trim down this
list without affecting users feel free to attach a patch to JIRA
Alternatively, if you have a suggested improvement for bnd (such as an option
to only add the OSGi headers, or maybe a whitelist of acceptable headers) then
feel free to raise this on https://github.com/bndtools/bnd
Thanks,
Andreas
