Maven bundle plugin update

["Richard S. Hall" <he...@ungoverned.org>]

I wanted to give everyone a heads up about the Maven plugin for creating 
bundles...

I have been working with Peter to create a patch for the plugin so that 
it can use his new BND library. It turns out that the "patch" is so 
completely different than the old plugin that I will commit it as a 
completely separate plugin so that we can have both side-by-side for the 
time being.

I think the new plugin is better, but since it is so different we should 
let people decide for themselves. If everyone agrees, then we can 
eventually eliminate the old one.

I am trying to get some documentation up today, commit the plugin, and 
update some of subprojects to use it. I am looking at using it to 
package the three framework-related subprojects into a single JAR (i.e., 
combine osgi.core, framework, and main), which will simplify our 
distribution and execution...more on that later.

I will let you know when I have something for you to look at...
