Maven properties become Manifest headers?

Hi Felix-Users

I added a Maven property to my POM file with the name "<Spring-Context>".

I did this to use it's value in the "instructions" block of the
maven-bundle-plugin. To my surprise, I didn't needed to add it to the
instructions block. The property was already "magically" added with it's
value to the manifest-file.

Is this a documented feature of the maven-bundle-plugin to recognize
manifest-headers by name in the maven properties?

Thanks
Stefan

I found that Bnd copies instructions with a capital letter automatically to
the manifest:
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html =>
heading "Features", first list element.

I think it would be worth to document that the maven-bundle-plugin does the
same with maven- or session-properties.

Thanks a lot!
Stefan

Hi

I can't find the exact documentation reference right now, but yes, Maven properties (session properties as they are called IIUIC) with a capital initial letter are by default used as bundle headers (in addition to the actual <Instruction> elements.
