Description

When I generate an Eclipse project with maven, the generated .classpath files looks like this:

<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="." output="target/classes/" including="plugin.xml|plugin.properties" excluding="*/.java"/>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/>
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.pde.core.requiredPlugins"/>

<!-- this is an example for a lib entry, generated by dependencies -->
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="commons-lang-2.1.jar"/>
</classpath>

But the classes in the libraries are not exported correctly. Only when I remove those libs from the classpath and readd them via the Plug-in Manifest Editor, the classes are correctly exported. After that, the classpathentries lools like this:

<classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="commons-lang-2.1.jar"/>

So I think this maven plugin should generate exported="true" into each library.
