Re: [m2e-users] Packaging type 'bundle' prevents 'Maven Dependencies'

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It should be relatively straightforward to add support for pax:compile
via m2e extensions mechanism. If you or anyone else is interested, [1]
has some starting pointers and we can provide more details on m2e-dev
mailing list.

Otherwise, maven-compiler-plugin with compilerId=javac is the only java
compiler plugin currently supported by m2e. You should be able to switch
between pax:compile and maven-compiler-plugin with a profile in pom.xml,
such that projects use maven-compiler-plugin inside IDE and pax:compile
on command line. Less than ideal, obviously, but better than nothing.

It appears that it is in fact using pax:compile as the compiler, which would explain the behaviour given your comment.  Nice pick.   Is there anything that can be done from outside m2e (plugins, or changes to maven-pax-compiler), to help this?
