maven-bundle-plugin 2.0.0 released!

The Apache Felix team is pleased to announce the release of maven-bundle-plugin 2.0.0

This release uses the latest bndlib (0.0.311) which requires you to build with a Java5 JDK. You can continue to target earlier JVMs while building with a Java5 or later JDK by setting the source and target levels in the maven-compiler-plugin configuration.

Here is the list of issues fixed in this release:

Bug

• [FELIX-545] - Export-Package version inconsistencies.
• [FELIX-546] - Import-Package version inconsistencies.
• [FELIX-549] - Import-Package should not include "snapshot" from snapshot dependencies
• [FELIX-660] - "Class in different directory than declared" error when bundle classes in a directory other than bundle root
• [FELIX-677] - Parser throws error when DynamicImport-Package contains attributes
• [FELIX-699] - manifest goal does not interprete _include instruction correctly
• [FELIX-782] - Manifest goal ignores version attribute specified in _exportcontents
• [FELIX-807] - conversion of JAR into bundle fails if there are classes is the default name space
• [FELIX-831] - bndlib unnecessary modifies valid OSGi Bundle-Version numbers (update to bndlib 0.0.293)
• [FELIX-843] - Regression: BND 0.0.295 does not augment Ignore-Package with excluded import packages
• [FELIX-850] - Wrong symbolic name computed when groupId is a single segment string.
• [FELIX-864] - A wrong symbolic name is calculated if artifactId starts with lastGroupIdSegment-.
• [FELIX-899] - Version attribute missing from Import-Package on provided dependencies
• [FELIX-907] - Regression in latest BND code: negated exports are applied to private packages

Improvement

• [FELIX-684] - Enable excludeDependencies to check groupId, version, etc. rather than only artifactId
• [FELIX-806] - changing the internal configuration of the archive plugin doesn't seem to be possible
• [FELIX-941] - Support singleton & fragment-attachment directive generation

New Feature

• [FELIX-912] - Improve default Export-Package / Private-Package settings by scanning the project source

A quick bundle example using the classic Maven quickstart project:

  mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app

# edit the pom.xml, change packaging from jar to bundle and add:

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0</version>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

  mvn clean install # you should now have a valid OSGi bundle
