Thomas Meyer commented on MASSEMBLY-792:
----------------------------------------

Hi, any news on this?

I really would like to see this patch go into the official repos.

This patch enables to repackage JAR files from the maven dependencies as OSGI bundles using the biz.aQute.bnd:bnd-maven-plugin. The plugin creates an OSGi compatible manifest file, but in the current version of the maven-assembly-plugin there is no way of using this created manifest file, as it's always overwritten by the plexus archiver default manifest file.

would do I need to do to get this merged upstream?

> Expose the "merge manifest mode" attribute from the plexus archiver (JarArchiver) so the assembly plugin can be used to unpack an archive with a manifest file into a jar archive (target format) and merge the contents of the already existing (from the unpack) manifest file.
