[reposting after no response on the platform newsgroup]
Is there a way to express that a plugin wishes to export packages with
wildcard syntax, or similar? I've tried variations on:
Export-Package: *
without success.
I'm asking because forcing the user to enumerate all exported packages
seems overly pedantic, and becomes a source of tedium/annoyance during
development. For example:
1) the refactoring of package names doesn't update the manifest.
2) the new class/package wizard doesn't present an "export" checkbox.
Of course, in the former case, the user has to manually remove the old
package name, and introduce the new one into the manifest. My usual
procedure involves forgetting this step, and having to patch-up when I get
an exception at run-time. 8P
Thanks,
Jason.

No there is no such feature.
New tooling support is being developed in 3.2 and is available since M3.
