[tycho-user] Recommendation for manipulation of MANIFEST.MF and class fi

[Gunnar Wagenknecht <gunnar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm thinking about weaving my JPA entities at compile time. Ideally I'd 
like to implement the following two actions during a Tycho compilation 
of my OSGi bundle:

1. Enhance class files
2. Add EclipseLink bundle dependencies to MANIFEST.MF

Task 1 can be done by Ant run. I'm using EclipseLink and it provides an 
Ant task for weaving. I found the following snippet. But before I go 
ahead and try it I was wondering if there is anyone around with 
experience weather this should work or not.

  <plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <phase>process-classes</phase>
        <configuration> … </configuration>
        <goals><goal>run</goal></goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>


Can I use the "process-classes" phase also for manipulations to the 
bundle manifest? I'd like to process the manifest in order to ensure 
that dependencies to the EclipseLink bundles are there.

Thanks,
Gunnar
