Using both maven-jar-plugin and maven-bundle-plugin

[Sahoo <sa...@sun.com>]

Perhaps a stupid question, but can I use maven-jar-plugin if I configure 
maven-bundle-plugin to execute bundle goal? Assuming I have no secondary 
artifacts being produced by my pom, which plugin eventually makes the 
final jar? Is it the maven-jar-plugin or maven-bundle-plugin? I guess it 
depends on who is configured to run last.

Thanks,
Sahoo

The above point was not clear to me. Thanks for telling that.

Yes, we already do that. I wanted to understand interaction between 
bundle goal and jar-plugin. It's clear now.

it depends on the packaging type and the phase to which you bind the other
plugin goal

for example, using packaging bundle will automatically bind the bundle goal
to the packaging phase,
but you could also bind the jar goal of the maven-jar-plugin to the same
phase, or even a later phase.

similarly if you had packaging jar then maven would bind the jar goal to the
packaging phase, but you
could then explicitly bind the bundle goal of the maven-bundle-plugin to the
same phase or later...

in both cases the explicitly bound plugin (ie. the one added using
<executions>...) should run last.

however, if your aim is to use the maven-bundle-plugin to generate the
manifest, but use packaging
type jar (ie. bundle is created by the maven-jar-plugin) then you should use
the "manifest" goal of
the maven-bundle-plugin, ideally bound to the process-classes phase so it
will run after compilation
but before the packaging starts, and then feed that manifest into the
maven-jar-plugin.
