Thanks, Kyle. If you can get the details from your colleague I’d love to hear them so that we can fix the problem he was encountering (if it’s not already fixed).

Andy, that’s good to hear. One of my colleagues tested out Bundlor and ran into some problems with either it or STS that he was unable to resolve, which is why we haven’t been using it. I’ll check with him and see if he has details of exactly what went wrong.

Kyle, with regards to manifest generation, you might be interested in Bundlor: (http://www.springsource.org/bundlor). In addition to the bytecode scanning that bnd supports, it will also generate imports from Hibernate and Spring XML files among others. There’s more information on the detection support available here: http://static.springsource.org/s2-bundlor/1.0.x/user-guide/htmlsingle/user-guide.html#detecting. There’s more to come in this area, e.g. M5 will add support for scanning web.xml files too.
