>                 Key: SLING-8008
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8008
>             Project: Sling
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: General
>    Affects Versions: Parent 34
>            Reporter: Konrad Windszus
>            Priority: Major
>
> As followup to the Sling Hackathon in Berlin in September (compare with [https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@sling.apache.org/msg79953.html |https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@sling.apache.org/msg79953.html).]there is the proposal to split up the current parent pom into two pieces: one for JARs/general aspect, another one for bundles (covering only those aspects).
>  
> The reasons for this switch are:
>  - we would like to switch completely to bnd-maven-plugin, but without the need for a separate bnd file
>  - we currently have only one parent pom for bundle modules and non-bundle modules, making it difficult to configure the bnd-maven-plugin globally so it gets up picked only for bundles, not for simple jar files.
>  - using maven profiles would be an option, but there is no nice way to trigger the profile without ugly hacks like having an empty bnd file present.
>  - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAR-193 would be another solution (haven the bnd plugin handing over the manifest extensions to the maven jar plugin), but this feature is not available yet
>  
> The proposed solutions looks like this
>  - create an additional "sling-bundle-parent" inheriting from the existing "sling-parent"
>  - all bundle-related stuff goes there and will be removed from "sling-parent"
>  - old maven-bundle-plugin and bnd-maven-plugin should be removed from sling-parent
>  - maven-bundle-plugin should be banned from sling-bundle-parent
>  - one repo for both, always released together
>  - start with next version 36
>  - make a wiki page with migration steps
>  - bundle modules will use "sling-bundle-parent", jar modules "sling-parent"
