Ant task to create bundles from osgi.core.jar and osgi.compendium.jar

[Marcel Offermans <ma...@luminis.nl>]

When migrating from OSCAR to Felix, I wanted to migrate from using the 
R3 "osgi-service.jar" and "osgi-util.jar" to new ones based on the 
official R4 "osgi.core.jar" and "osgi.compendium.jar". I quickly 
discovered that these files themselves do not contain any bundle 
manifest headers to export the packages contained in the archives. So I 
created an Ant task to do this for me (and also strip out all the 
optional information).

Check it out here:

Perhaps something like this is worth including in the Felix build (or 
perhaps even the Maven 2 plugins, I'm not really familiar with Maven yet).

Greetings, Marcel

My interpretation of Maven 2 naming standards applied to the OSGi jars 
would be to call them:

org.osgi.core-4.0.jar
org.osgi.compendium-4.0.jar

If there are no objections to the proposed names:

1)  I'll commit mavenization subprojects to Felix using those names.
2)  I'll work to include the jars in iBiblio's M2 repo.

Yes, this should probably be done for the Maven JARs. I have done it for 
myself locally too. I am not sure why these JARs were not officially 
created as bundles...
