[jira] Commented: (FELIX-2819) packageinfo files in src/main/java are ignored

["Simon Chemouil (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2819?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12989749#comment-12989749 ] 

Simon Chemouil commented on FELIX-2819:
---------------------------------------

This would be nice indeed.

Just for the record (you might find it useful), we use the @Version bnd annotation on the package statement in the package-info.java file to achieve the same, and Maven is happy with this since it's a Java source file.

E.g,

@Version("1.0.2")
package com.mycompany.myproject.mypackage

import aQute.bnd.annotation;

One thing nice with this is that it's possible to use a String constant defined in a Java class, for those times when we want to make the version a part of the Java API... And this usage finally makes package-info.java interesting for more than just package javadoc. Drawbacks are that we depend on bnd.annotation's JAR at compile time only for manifest generation, and that no tool that I know of updates these versions when the API evolves.

Hope this helps.

> The bnd tool can pick up the package version from a packageinfo file if it is stored next to the java files.
> The maven-bundle-plugin will only include them in the jar, and make them visible to bnd if they are in the src/main/resources directory. I would like to use these files for specifying versions, rather than putting it in the pom. This allows me to specify the version once in this file even if it is repackaged in a different jar later.
> The problem is I have to put the files into src/main/resources which significantly reduces the chance of updating them when a change is made. Could the maven-bundle-plugin be updated to put the packageinfo files from src/main/java into the jar before calling bnd?
> Thanks
