How To Migrate From maven-bundle-plugin 2.5.3 to 3.0.0

Question

My maven pom.xml has a dependency to the maven-bundle-plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.3</version> 
</plugin>

There are already a couple of releases for version 3, but there is no documentation on what the API break was that made them increase the major version.

After hours of digging I found the documentation for the sprint, but I have no way to know for sure which of the issues was the API break (my guess would be FELIX-5047, but that's purely speculative).

What do I need to migrate my projects from 2.5.3 to 3.0.0?

Answer 1

You only need to change the version in your POM file.

About the version change, from the changelog.txt:

Changes from 2.5.5 to 3.0.0

---

** Improvement

 * [FELIX-5047] - Disable bnd ScrPlugin by default
 * [FELIX-5030] - Do not require a pom.xml when Polyglot Maven is used
 * [FELIX-5029] - Update to bnd 3.0.0

Most likely, to align with the bnd version.
