Maven eclipse plug-in modifications

[Fernando Gonzalez <fe...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

First of all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I would
be glad to receive directions to send this mail to the right place.

I have modified the maven-eclipse-plugin so that it works perfectly with
OSGi projects in Eclipse. I'm sure the code has some bug and is specific to
some of my concrete situation but I'm also sure that can be used as a
starting point to do a job as good as the current maven-eclipse-project.
Where should I send the modifications??

Best regards,
Fernando

P.S.: I have implemented the following features:
- It modifies the manifest to configure the manifest with the dependencies
in the pom.xml
- It creates a directory in "target" with the "expanded" plug-ins (when they
need to include some external jar)
- It manages references between reactor projects: even between an OSGi
project and a normal project. In this case, at the install phase the normal
project is packaged and included as a jar in the directory already mentioned
in previous point.
- I have developed also an archetype plug-in to create the plug-in project
with maven.

Thanks for your response.

Sorry again if it's not the place. I don't know exactly how Maven community
works...

I'd suggest opening an issue at:

   http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE

and attach your changes (preferably as a patch to the current version?)

interesting: I did something similar a while ago, but I decided to extend
the eclipse plugin instead (using some reflection tricks) to add the OSGi
functionality [http://wiki.ops4j.org/confluence/x/8Q]
