The way BND works is by treating your project as a big collection of classes (e.g., project code, dependencies, and the class path). The way you create a bundle with BND is to tell it the content of the bundle's JAR file as a subset of the available classes. This plugin wraps BND to make it work specifically with the Maven 2 project structure and to provide it with reasonable default behavior for Maven 2 projects.</p><div class="section"><h3>Goals Overview<a name="Goals_Overview"></a></h3><p>General Information about the goals.</p><ul><li><a href="./bundle-mojo.html">bundle:bundle</a> Create an OSGi bundle from Maven project.

When creating a new issue, please provide a comprehensive description of your concern. Especially for fixing bugs it is crucial that the developers can reproduce your problem. For this reason, entire debug logs, POMs or most preferably little demo projects attached to the issue are very much appreciated. Of course, patches are welcome, too. Contributors can check out the project from our <a href="./source-repository.html">source repository</a> and will find supplementary information in the <a class="externalLink" href="http://felix.apache.org/site/development.html">Apache Felix developers guide</a>. </p></div><div class="section"><h3>Examples<a name="Examples"></a></h3><p>To provide you with better understanding on some usages of the Maven Bundle Plugin, you can take a look into the following examples:</p><ul><li>Examples coming soon!</li></ul></div></div>
