Bundle plugin and <_exportcontents> version

["Gay David (Annecy)" <dg...@axway.com>]

Hi all,
 
I try to use the Maven Bundle Plugin to create a bundle that embed 
several other non-osgi jars. I'll take an example with the well known
Apache Commons IO, but my real case is to be able to embed several
internal libraries.
 
If I use this pom.xml :
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
<http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0> "
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance> "
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
<http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0>
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd
<http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd> ">

  <dependency>
   <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
   <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
   <version>1.4</version>
  </dependency>
 </dependencies>
 
</project>
 
The generated Manifest is :
 
(...)
Export-Package: org.apache.commons.io.output;uses:="org.apache.commons
 .io",org.apache.commons.io.filefilter;uses:="org.apache.commons.io",o
 rg.apache.commons.io.comparator;uses:="org.apache.commons.io",org.apa
 che.commons.io.input;uses:="org.apache.commons.io",org.apache.commons
 .io;uses:="org.apache.commons.io.filefilter,org.apache.commons.io.out
 put"
(...)
Import-Package: org.apache.commons.io;version="1.4",org.apache.commons
 .io.comparator;version="1.4",org.apache.commons.io.filefilter;version
 ="1.4",org.apache.commons.io.input;version="1.4",org.apache.commons.i
 o.output;version="1.4"
(...)
 
 
My problem is that the Export-Package don't have the version="1.4"
information
automatically added. Is it a normal behavior ? Why can't the bundle
plugin do that
automatically ? it's done for the Import-Package ! Is there a special
syntax that
I haven't found in BND ?
 
I know I can modify "manually" in the pom the _exportcontents directive
by adding :
<_exportcontents>*;version="1.4"</_exportcontents> but I like to apply
the rule
"Don't Repeat Yourself" : the version information is already in the
dependency !
Also, if I add more and more dependencies to embed in this bundle, I
would
prefer if it's only a matter of adding a Maven dependency.
 
 
Thanks a lot for your helps
Regards
David
