LOL, ouch, you just opened up the can of worms we thought we put a lid
on :) he he
basically, Tomcat 6 is mavenized, and we publish the individual JARs to
ASF Maven repo.

my feeling is though, is that you are going for the "mavenization" just
to run the BND or BNE or whatever the plugin is called, that generates
the OSGi manifests.
having personally done that, I can say that it simply doesn't work. IT
works in most cases, but not in Tomcat, and even in the cases it works,
the output it produces into the manifest file is completely useless to
the human eye. the amount of stuff it exports and imports is insane, in
in most cases irrelevant to the data you actually wanna export/import
that's why I posted my combined version of the Export/Import, nice and
clean, when/if we do it on a per jar basis, I would hope we aim to
produce the same quality data as the example I showed.
