[jira] Commented: (FELIX-218) Support BND directives in maven-bundle-plugin section of pom.xml

["Stuart McCulloch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-218?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12476102 ] 

Stuart McCulloch commented on FELIX-218:
----------------------------------------

FYI, adding support for '-include' in the maven bundle plugin means you could write:

        <configuration> 
          <instructions> 
            <_include>META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</_include> 
          </instructions> 
        </configuration> 

which drags in an external manifest (say edited in eclipse) - note that any additional
elements or directives in the project pom.xml will override entries in the included file.

> The latest snapshot of the maven-bundle-plugin doesn't support BND directives (such as -donotcopy) in the pom.xml
> Unfortunately we can't have XML tags that start with '-', so we have to use '_' in the XML and convert this to '-' in the plugin.
> For example:
>         <configuration>
>           <instructions>
>             <bundleName>My Bundle</bundleName>
>             ... etc ...
>             <_donotcopy>(CVS|.svn|.+.bak|~.+)</_donotcopy>
>           </instructions>
>         </configuration>
> I have a simple patch for this issue, which also adds support for the '-include' directive to let you drag in other property files.
> This can be useful if you have a common set of manifest entries defined in a parent project - however, this requires a patch
> to BND to expose an API to process the include directive, as currently it's only processed when properties are loaded from
> a file - not when they are set programatically.
