Denis Golovin commented on LOCUS-39:
------------------------------------

[~mickael_istria] I believe it is actually possible to "aggregate" any amount of maven call in one using maven-invoker plugin. Basically it lets you to invoke maven from maven, but from user perspective it looks like single maven call. That would first call EBR builds for required bundles, install them into local repo and then call maven again to build p2repository.

I am also curious why we don't use inclusion of actual jar inside bundle and then expose it through OSGi, for examle like that https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-locus/compare/jbosstools:master...dgolovin:locus-dmg-question?expand=1. Are there any class loading related problems?

> I've had the opportunity to attend a presentation about EBR, a technology to turn plain jars from Maven as OSGi bunle (generating MANIFEST, source bundle, p2 metadata...). I have the impression that it fits quite nicely most of our Locus bundles, we should consider adopting it.
