bundlor: generate MANIFEST from maven

[lfischer]

Hello,

I use maven as build tool and eclipse as IDE, but I would like to be independent from the used IDE.

Also generating the MANIFEST.MF from eclipse needs to synchronise some settings in the maven.pom and the template.mf (e.g. version and Bundle-Version).

So I tried to generate the MANIFEST.MF file into the folder "src/main/resources" by configuring the bundlor maven plugin:

<execution>
  <id>bundlor</id>
  <goals>
    <goal>transform</goal>
  </goals>
  <phase>package</phase>
  <configuration>
    <outputFile>${basedir}/src/main/resources/</outputFile>
...

but I never get a generated file. Its is only created into the artifact jar.

Is there an other way to do this?

regards,
Lars

PS: Oh, this thread should have been posted in the "Spring Development Tools" folder. Can it be moved?

If you are looking for ways to generate MANIFEST from maven, you can try out maven-bundle-plugin from Apache Felix project.
Also, maven provides an archetype to create a template "bundle" project using the above plugin; it should help you get started.

I know about the maven-bundle-plugin.
But using spring-dm there may be the problem that the configuration files could define some additional dependencies which are not resolved by the maven-bundle-plugin.

That's why I'm evaluating the bundlor.
