Description

In my company it happens sometimes that people using the Maven Bundle Plugin to produce the bundle misinterpret the configuration settings, producing a MANIFEST file with invalid OSGi entries, i.e. given a project with the following structure:

myproject
├── src
│   ├── main
│   │   ├── java
│   │   │   └── org
│   │   │       └── apache
│   │   │           ├── acme
│   │   │           │   ├── utils

and the pom.xml is wrongly configured as:

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
                <extensions>true</extensions>
                <configuration>
                    <instructions>
                        <Export-Package>
                            nothing
                        </Export-Package>
                    </instructions>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

it makes the Export-Package header resulting as Export-Package: nothing.

A MOJO, invoked during the verify phase, would be very useful to check the target bundle integrity and prevent this kind of wrong exports.

Patch is coming.
