Description

I have a use-case for using classifier to create multiple bundles with different symbolic names but the same Bundle-Version.

This is not currently possible, as the maven-bundle-plugin automatically appends the classifier to the Bundle-Version.

Could some switch be added, to disable the appending of classifier to Bundle-Version?

Thanks,

Derek

wanted to produce JDK5 and JDK1.4 versions of the same bundle, so
because the symbolic name would be the same, the classifier must then
be added to the version to distinguish them.

it is the intended behaviour for the above use-case, but we could add a switch
to turn it off - it's difficult to detect whether the classifier should be added to the
version automatically, because each bundling process is run in isolation

there's also no way to distinguish where the bundle version came from in Maven
(ie. general config or specific to the classifier) once it reaches the bundleplugin,
so a new switch is the only safe way to detect the different use-case...
