             Summary: Optional merging of duplicate manifest headers
                 Key: FELIX-3994
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3994
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
            Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho
            Priority: Minor


Bundle plugin seems to always overwrite exported manifest. There are currently several other ways of merging manifest headers together but none of them can merge duplicated headers back to one or omit unwanted/uninteresting headers altogether. 

[Archiver|http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/manifestFile.html] can already be used pass headers to BND process but what I'm after is to only have an impact what is written out to the manifest location at the end and not tamper with the produced artifact itself.

The idea is to be able to print out project artifact's manifest for Eclipse PDE and later on selectively overlay it with test artifact's manifest so that PDE sees simultaneously information from both artifacts excluding test-only headers such as {{Fragment-Host}} and those starting with {{Bundle-}}
