Bug 357695

Description Matthew Adams 2011-09-14 17:30:18 EDT

Build Identifier: 1.1.0.M01

Currently, the Bundlor requires that a property be manually set to specify a version range or version pattern if Bundlor is to do version calculation.  It would be nice in the Maven plugin if the plugin itself used the version information of the bundle's dependencies in the absence of a developer-supplied property in the Import-Templates header.  For example:

Version-Patterns:
 next-major;pattern="[=.=.=.=, +1.0.0)",
 next-minor;pattern="[=.=.=.=, =.+1.0)",
 next-micro;pattern="[=.=.=.=, =.=.+1)"
Import-Templates:
 javax.persistence*;version="${:next-micro}",
 *;version="${:next-major}"

Since there's no property name to the left of the colon in each Import-Templates line, the Maven plugin would provide reasonable values.  For example, if the maven dependencies were

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
	<artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
	<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
	<artifactId>com.springsource.javax.transaction</artifactId>
	<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.foobar</groupId>
	<artifactId>blargy</artifactId>
	<version>4.5.6</version>
</dependency>

then the resultant manifest entry would be

Import-Package:
 javax.persistence;version="[2.0.0,2.0.1)",
 javax.persistence.spi;version="[2.0.0,2.0.1)",
 javax.persistence.metamodel;version="[2.0.0,2.0.1)",
 javax.persistence.criteria;version="[2.0.0,2.0.1)",
 javax.transaction;version="[1.1.0,2.0.0)",
 javax.transaction.xa;version="[1.1.0,2.0.0)"
 org.foobar.blargy;version="[4.5.6,5.0.0)"
 org.foobar.blargy.blarg;version="[4.5.6,5.0.0)"
 org.foobar.blargy.florch;version="[4.5.6,5.0.0)"

That way the developer doesn't have to manually update package-x=version-y properties in a separate file.
