Hi all,
We are re-packaging a few jars (retrieved from Maven Central) as OSGi bundles using the maven-bundle-plugin. It is the Scala standard library, among others.
I'd like to create source bundles for them, and I can't get it work quite right. I can retrieve and unpack sources using the maven-dependency-plugin, and after some fiddling, they get packaged as a separate jar. I am using the same project for both, so I have a single pom file.
The problem is that `mvn install` installs both the bundle and the source bundle under the same artifact name (without `.source` at the end). The "feature" project can't find the .source bundle (I added it in feature.xml), because it presumably it tries to find it in a subdirectory with `.source` at the end:
[INFO] --- maven-install-plugin:2.4:install (default-install) @ org.scala-ide.scala.library ---

What is the preferred way to handle this? Should I have a separate project (what packaging should I use? I don't want to rebuild the sources).
Alternatively, the Scala team already includes OSGi headers in their jars, so I could probably convince them to add OSGi (with Eclipse-SourceBundle headers) in their sources jar, BUT will I be able to use them from Tycho? (publishing will still be to Maven, and sources will be under the same artifact coordinates as the binaries, org.scala-lang:scala-library).
thanks,
iulian
