I dont know the plugin, but looking at the code it looks like it generates the jar and extracts the manifest: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/releases/maven-bundle-plugin-2.0.0/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/bundleplugin/ManifestPlugin.java So it looks like either you would have to do something similar or just use Bnd to create the jar Niall >> Niall >> >> >> > It should be possible, but tedious, to make the OSGI generation >> > dependent on Java 1.5 + presence of the "bnd" add-on.
