Re: [m2e-users] Generating OSGi manifest in maven build

[Alejandro.Endo@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Did you add an "execute" configuration for the maven-bundle-plugin in the m2e lifecycle-mapping? if yes, what did you use for runOnIncremental and runOnConfiguration? if not, the plugin will be executed only outside eclipse or if you run it explicitly. By default the manifest goal is bound to package i believe, but i'm in the same position than you i think: i need the manifests right after compilation for testing purposes. Over here my conclusion was that this can't work automatically in eclipse (so mapping to execute won't work, i have to map it to ignore) because although it creates the manifests, eclipse doesn't see them in the workspace, and if i do a refresh of the projects so that eclipse sees them, it triggers another compilation, which triggers another manifest generation = infinite cycle. I might try to write a connector in the future, but i don't have the time right now

Hi, 

I'm new to m2e and Maven in general.  I'm trying to generate an OSGi manifest file as part of my build. 

Here's what I have done so far:  I configured in my POM (attached) to call the "manifest" goal of the Maven bundle plugin, and associated it with the "process-classes" phase.  It seems to work when I manually build the project; it would create a proper OSGi manifest in the target/classes/META-INF folder for me. 

The problem is that it is only working when auto-build is turned off.  When auto-build is on, there seems to be some other process that always overwrites the manifest file with a version that has almost no content at all.  Does anyone have some idea why it is behaving this way? 

By the way, when the m2e build runs, what phase/goal is it actually calling? 




Thanks,
