Hello Alejandro,
Thank you very much for the reply, but there is something I don't
understand.
I'm using Eclipse Kepler, which has m2e. I tried what you suggested.
Importing as existing Maven projects works very well, with all
dependencies detected and no compilation errors. However, since Eclipse
sees these as Maven projects rather than PDE projects, I'm unable to
create a new Runnable of type OSGi Framework in the Run Configurations
dialog. Eclipse doesn't detect my projects as bundles.
How are you able to create Runnables with the OSGi Framework launcher?
Any guidance is very much appreciated.
Best,
Jennifer

I use pde + maven-bundle-plugin + osgi framework launcher but i don't use
mvn-eclipse-plugin. You should be using m2e, which works completely
different than m-eclipse-p. Just do a final eclipse:clean and forget about
that plugin.
Then make sure that your eclipse has m2e (comes by default with any recent
eclipse) and do a File > import > maven > Existing Maven project if your
project is already in the filesystem. If not choose "checkout maven
project from SCM" instead
good luck

Subject: mvn-eclipse-plugin problem with pde projects and linked
resources
Hello,
I just took over the maintenance of several OSGi bundles. I added the
mvn-eclipse-plugin to the POM files for each of the bundles because I'd
like to generate the necessary Eclipse project files to work with the
source code and use the OSGi Framework launcher in the Eclipse IDE:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9</version>
<configuration>
<pde>true</pde>
</configuration>
</plugin>
For reasons I don't understand, running "mvn eclipse:eclipse" generates
a .project file with an incomplete set of linked resources. For
example, I have a POM file for one of the bundles that has the following
3 dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.17</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>org.apache.felix.main</artifactId>
<version>4.2.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jgoodies</groupId>
<artifactId>looks</artifactId>
<version>2.2.2</version>
</dependency>
The generated .project file for this bundle only has one linked resource
to one of the artifacts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<name>org.protege.common</name>
<comment>Core Protege Libraries. NO_M2ECLIPSE_SUPPORT: Project files
created with the maven-eclipse-plugin are not supported in
M2Eclipse.</comment>

</link>
</linkedResources>
</projectDescription>
When I try to import the existing PDE project into Eclipse, I get
compiler errors since the other two artifacts aren't listed as linked
resources.
Is there something I'm missing about how to properly use this plug-in?
I'm using Maven version 3.1.0. Any help and/or advice would be very
much appreciated.
Jennifer
