Hi,
One problem I see, almost exclusively or certainly prevalent in the
eclipse/equinox world, when I read things like this (beside not
being a fan of maven, to put it mildly) is the continual emphasis
on / usage of "Require-Bundle";
"Require-Bundle" can really be a nuisance, especially for those of
us that want to separate interface from implementation
(conceptually, not just syntactically);
Just an observation, but I run into this "nuisance" frequently and
it's a pain to undo...

wired maven-phase based slight-of-hand... there's no replacement

I am then interested to know how you manage the classpath of your
project. Because there is a little gap between the bnd/MANIFEST.MF
that only declare a dependency on some packages, and the actually jars
your are building against.
So do you manage your jars dependencies manually ? with an old-school
lib folder ?
Or you have a dependency manager setup ? Ivy or maven just to retrieve
the jars ?
I thought of a third solution, but I didn't found any such tool: use
an OBR to compute the dependencies and retrieve the jars. I used the
Felix OBR resolver implementation and I managed to do a similar plugin
to IvyDE [1] (just a proof of concept here, implemented with lot of
hacks). But I am not sure if the "obr service" can be used for that
kind of classpath computing, as its main goal, as far as I understand,
is to get bundle into a OSGi runtime environment. There is that
"compile" vs "runtime" classpath issue. But not sure if that is an
issue... WDYT ?

I am not sure if this will be beneficial to us or not, since it
sounds
like a) they plan on duplicating or effort around the Bundle Plugin
and
b) they are getting really cozy with Eclipse, but it is an
interesting
read nonetheless:
