Sure... Here's an example of my Ant JAR target:
<target name="jar" depends="compile">
<jar manifest="${src.dir}/tutorial/example2/manifest.mf"
jarfile="${bundle.dir}/${bundle.name}.jar"
basedir="${output.dir}">
<include name="**"/>
</jar>
</target>
Basically, I've got a manifest.mf file in the source tree of my osgi
bundle, which happens to look something like this:
Bundle-Activator: tutorial.example6.Activator
Import-Package: tutorial.example5.service
Bundle-Name: Spell Check Client
Bundle-Description: A bundle that uses the spell check service
Bundle-Vendor: Some Vendor Name
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
The Ant task *merges* my custom manifest with some tool generated
manifest entries and produces a manifest file in the jar's /meta-inf
directory that looks like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.1
Created-By: 1.5.0_03-b07 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Bundle-Activator: tutorial.example2.Activator
Export-Package: tutorial.example2.service
Bundle-Name: English Dictionary
Bundle-Description: A bundle that registers an English dictionary
service
Bundle-Vendor: Some Vendor Name
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0

I'll check into these resources. Worst case, I guess I try out
Maven-2's new plug-in development interface. I suppose it would be nice
to just include a manifest file in the POM's
<build><resources></resources></build> nodes, so that M2 would
automatically include a custom manifest that I specify in the JAR just
like I can tell maven to include other resources like property and XML
files.
