maven + felix + classes only referenced in context

[kryptolus]

The manifest produced by the felix plugin won't contain any imports for classes that only appear in the conext file since the plugin doesn't know anything about them.

Are there any plans for a maven plugin that can take that into account plus support some spring-dm features like moduletype, etc?

We are definitely planning to have to have manifest creation plugins for eclipse, maven and ant.

I'll keep you posted as to when we have an early milestone available.

In the meantime you can make use of a Plugin I've found referenced in another thread:


<_plugin>aQute.lib.spring.SpringComponent</_plugin>

it works more or less for me (difficulties with having the right IMPORT-PACKAGE when using jsf/facelets (currently in progress ;) )

That's great. I'm still getting familiar with spring dm/osgi, but so far this is my #1 wish.

My #2 wish is also maven related, and it's a desire for more archetypes. I've been using the spring-osgi-bundle archetype and out of the box it requires some changes to make it work with spring dm tooling, which can get a little annoying.
