1. Is it compulsory to have template.mf in sts ?
No you can use another way to build your bundle.
2. Can I use pom file to generate manifest instead of template.mf & delete the template.mf ?
when I do so I am getting the exception asking for template.mf in greenpages.
You can use tools like Tycho, BND, plain maven. You should however get rid of bundlor if you want to build with another tool.
3. If I use apach-felix in POM(maven file) will it generate similar manifest
* template.mf will use springsource bundlor to create manifest.
* maven uses BND tool to create manifest.
Most of the tools out there will generate manifest. The trick here is to have a manifest that doesn't require editing. Bundlor and BND can do the automation by looking at .class files. Bundlor however goes a bit further by inspecting other files for dependencies. BND afaik (I had a look a year ago) does not do this.
4. If i use both template & pom which is having higher precedence(will pom override template.mf) ?
This depend on your pom, but generally the rule is that the last tool will have precedence. If you first invoke bundlor and then another tool to modify the manifest, the last invoked will win.
5. When i tried to keep empty template.mf & used apach-felix/springsource-bundlor plugin in pom file the manifest generated is not correct.
Can you please provide more details? What part of the manifest is incorrect - import, export, ...?
User Guide for bundlor and manifest template (template.mf) can be found here: http://www.springsource.org/bundlor
