Local packages are not included into my bundle

["Guillaume Sauthier (OW2)" <gu...@ow2.org>]

Hi all

I'm using maven-bundle-plugin 2.3.7 to wrap a library (thus using
Embed-Dependency).
As I need to patch some files in the original archive, I have duplicated
and modified java classes from the original module in my src/main/java.

It really looks like this thread:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/felix-users/201110.mbox/%3C4EA9802A.2030707@googlemail.com%3E

After having excluded from the inlining the patched classes, I was
expecting to see my patched versions of the classes in the bundle.
But it was not the case.

Here is a concrete example to help understand the issue:

src/main/java/
  org.mule.impl.MuleEvent
  org.mule.providers.AbstractConnector
  org.mule.providers.SimpleRetryConnectionStrategy

instructions.bnd
  Embed-Dependency
 mule-core;inline=!**/MuleEvent.class|!**/AbstractConnector.class|!**/SimpleRetryConnectionStrategy*.class
  -exportcontent org.mule.*;version=${mule.version}

In this usecase, neither of the patched MuleEvent, AbstractConnector or
SRCStrategy ends up in my bundle.

I then tried with on excluding MuleEvent:
instructions.bnd
  Embed-Dependency  mule-core;inline=!**/MuleEvent.class
  -exportcontent org.mule.*;version=${mule.version}

This time, MuleEvent is really excluded, I do not see it anymore in my
bundle, but I don't see my patched MuleEvent too ...

It looks like the local packages are not included in my bundle !

Any idea why ?
Is it the -exportcontents directive that remove the local packages ?

The only solution I found to finally include my patched files in the bundle
was to use Export-Package instead of -exportcontents
Except that this solution only work for me when I want to exclude 1 file,
if multiple exclusions are required, that do not work anymore (probably
another issue).

Thanks
