Description

Modify maven-bundle-plugin so that runing

mvn org.apache.felix:maven-bundle-plugin:ant

creates the build.xml and MANIFEST.MF files for the current source code. This allows a working bundle to be created from a source distribution using ant (without using maven).

The goal of this issue is not to allow development using ant but to provide a way of distributing source code that uses ant to build a working bundle. Any changes to the source code that affect the bundle headers would not be updated in the manifest, since the manifest file is created at the same time as the build file and is not changed by any ant task.
