Description

It would be nice to have some mechanism to pass configuration values from another plugin to the maven bundle plugin, for example for the maven-scr-plugin as this one calculates (or adds to) the Service-Component and Include-Resource instructions. The current mechanism of passing project properties works only as long as there is no instruction for that value in the project pom (see FELIX-4595).
Right now the mechanism to resolve the instructions is:
1. project properties
2. instruction configuration from the pom

A simple solution would be to add
3. look for special prefixed project properties, like "Override-Service-Component" or "Extend-Service-Component". The project properties are searched for all props starting with this prefix and then override or extend the value.
