Hi all,

Having some real life experience with BndTools (done several projects
with it), I'll also post my ramblings on this proposal.

I favor migrating away from Maven to BndTools. I do not think it is
practical to support both build-tools. One of the reasons being that
BndTools allows you to have multiple bundles in a single Eclipse
project. It would mean that we can have less projects, making the
project certainly more tangible and comprehensible from a source
perspective.

BndTools also makes OSGi bundles a 1st class citizen in Eclipse,
allowing you to run them directly from Eclipse as you would do with
non-OSGi projects. This _certainly_ will increase development speed, IMO.

Regards,

  Jan Willem
