Description

Currently the maven-bundle-plugin will fall back to the bundle version as the exported version, if no package-info.java version annotations are found. That is not useful. Instead the default version (0.0.0) should be used if no explicit version is set on the bundle itself. This is also in line with the recommendation from Peter Kriens in http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg01514.html.

The according code responsible for falling back to the bundle version is https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/tools/maven-bundle-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/bundleplugin/BundlePlugin.java#L1765 together with https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/blob/7606e60e2dc5149f6fd35b0841f2735e9414b064/biz.aQute.bndlib/src/aQute/bnd/osgi/Analyzer.java#L2720.
Compare also with the discussion in FELIX-5172.
