Working with Maven, OSGi and Bndtools

Question

Today I was asked whether it is a good idea to use Maven in our current OSGi application. We used Bndtools and its great since it makes development as easy as possible. Bndtools

Answer 1

For those coming to this question now, a lot of time has passed since it was originally asked. The Maven work that Neil Bartlett referred to above has matured and there is quite good integration between Bnd/Bndtools and Maven now, including an m2e connector for Eclipse/Bndtools.

Neil co-authored a slideshow on this with Tim Ward:
