Description

While developing and testing bundles for Sling, it would be usefull, if during a certain phase of the Maven build process the bundle could be installed on a running Sling instances. The manual method of installing such a bundle generally involves going to Sling Console select the bundle file to upload and send the file. If the bundle is new, it may optionally be started and assigned a start level.

This file upload may easily be automated by a Maven plugin, which e.g. uses the Commons HttpClient to upload the file.
