Re: [m2e-users] Generating OSGi manifest in maven build
Sorry, maybe I was not clear. I'm not suggesting that you should use tycho-maven-plugin. You need to install Tycho m2e connector - it provides Eclipse integration for both tycho-maven-plugin and maven-bundle-plugin.

Second thing is that you are not using maven-bundle-plugin properly. POM should look like this:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<groupId>Simple</groupId>
	<artifactId>Simple</artifactId>
	<packaging>bundle</packaging>
 	<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<build>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.3.2</version>
				<configuration>
					<source>1.6</source>
					<target>1.6</target>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.3.7</version>
				<extensions>true</extensions>				
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>
</project>
Important parts are that you should have <extensions>true</extensions> on maven-bundle-plugin AND you should use <packaging>bundle</packaging> for the project. This will cause bundle:bundle goal to kick in automatically in package phase.
With Tycho connector present, your manifest should be automatically regenerated during incremental compilation.

Hope that helps,

Hi Rafal, do you have any example of how to use Tycho in this way?

I had tried Tycho before and that seems to let me augment my POM with information from an existing manifest.  But I would like to generate a manifest from the POM, which seems to work but I am running into the problem of it being overwritten during auto-build.

Thanks,

Andrew

You need to install Tycho connector to integrate maven-bundle-plugin with m2e.

Hi,

I'm new to m2e and Maven in general.  I'm trying to generate an OSGi manifest file as part of my build.

Here's what I have done so far:  I configured in my POM (attached) to call the "manifest" goal of the Maven bundle plugin, and associated it with the "process-classes" phase.  It seems to work when I manually build the project; it would create a proper OSGi manifest in the target/classes/META-INF folder for me.

The problem is that it is only working when auto-build is turned off.  When auto-build is on, there seems to be some other process that always overwrites the manifest file with a version that has almost no content at all.  Does anyone have some idea why it is behaving this way?

By the way, when the m2e build runs, what phase/goal is it actually calling?




Thanks,

Andrew
