Adding OSGI bundle project nature

[ikica1985]

Hi everyone,

I need help,
how to add bundle nature to a plugin project, but without directly use of spring tool (by clicking on the button "add bundle nature").

I saw somewhere discussion about configuration "settings" in pom.xml. I am sure that it is possible, or I am in wrong ?

I tried to do that using "mvn eclipse:eclipse" and adding the following lines of code in project pom.xml:

------------------------------------------------
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>

<configuration>

<classpathContainers>
<classpathContainer>org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_ CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.Standar dVMType/JavaSE-1.6</classpathContainer>
<classpathContainer>org.eclipse.pde.core.requiredP lugins</classpathContainer>
</classpathContainers>

<buildcommands>
<buildcommand>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet .core.builder</buildcommand>
<buildcommand>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</buildcommand>
<buildcommand>org.eclipse.pde.ManifestBuilder</buildcommand>
<buildcommand>org.eclipse.pde.SchemaBuilder</buildcommand>
<buildcommand>org.springframework.ide.eclipse.core .springbuilder</buildcommand>
</buildcommands>

<projectnatures>
<projectnature>com.springsource.server.ide.facet.c ore.bundlenature</projectnature>
<projectnature>org.springframework.ide.eclipse.cor e.springnature</projectnature>
<projectnature>org.eclipse.pde.PluginNature</projectnature>
<projectnature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</projectnature>
<projectnature>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.face t.core.nature</projectnature>
</projectnatures>

</configuration>
</plugin>

----------------------------------------

but something is missing in configuration.

This plugin and this configuration don't create the following files in .settings using by configuration for eclipse plugin:
org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml
org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

and

---add on a build path

<classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/org/eclipse/osgi/org.eclipse.osgi_/3.6.0/org.eclipse.osgi_-3.6.0-gs4tr.jar"/>

and similar staffs from dependencies, but I don't want to maven-plugin do that.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thank you,

Ivana

Hi,

I can't comment on the Maven stuff as it's quite unknown to me but with in Eclipse I can help. The OSGi bundle nature is provided as a facet which is a part of the WTP project. So, assuming you have a PDE project, you first need to make it faceted and then from the project properties, go to the facets menu and apply the OSGi bundle facet under the EclipseRT heading.
