Description

It seems that files created by java annotation processors are not included in the jar by the maven-bundle-plugin while they are included by the standard maven jar packaging.

In karaf-boot we use standard java annotation processors to generate files at runtime.

Oner such processor is:
https://github.com/jbonofre/karaf-boot/tree/master/starters/karaf-boot-starter-jpa
It parses the @PersistentContext annotation and creates a persistence.xml file.
This is an example project that uses it:
https://github.com/jbonofre/karaf-boot/tree/master/samples/jpa

To test this remove the karaf-boot-maven-plugin (which calls the maven bundle plugin) and the META-INF/persistence.xml is added to the jar.
Add the default maven-bundle-plugin and the persistence.xml is not added to the jar.

I can create a simpler test project if this is too complicated.
