Description

Stuart:

1) currently, to integrate maven-bundle-plugin into m2e, one must use tycho configurator
https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-tycho

which adds needles complexity, and makes few strange assumptions
https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-tycho/blob/master/org.sonatype.tycho.m2e/src/org/sonatype/tycho/m2e/internal/OsgiBundleProjectConfigurator.java#L74

which no one it seems is there to care to correct
https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-tycho/pull/8

2) instead, I suggest maven-bundle-plugin to provide direct integration with eclipse via
http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_compatible_maven_plugins#BuildContext

which I would expect to be more customizable / flexible for the end user.

I recently made similar switch with my DS plugin, and life got easier
https://github.com/carrot-garden/carrot-maven/tree/master/carrot-maven-scr-plugin

thanks.

Andrei.
