NAME

bnd - Create and diagnose OSGi bundles.

SYNOPSIS

bnd [general-options] [cmd] [cmd-options]

bnd [general-options] <file>.jar

bnd [general-options] <file>.bnd

DESCRIPTION

The bnd tool helps you create and diagnose OSGi bundles. The key functions are:

 * Show the manifest and JAR contents of a bundle
 * Wrap a JAR so that it becomes a bundle
 * Create a Bundle from a specification and a class path
 * Verify the validity of the manifest entries

GENERAL OPTIONS

Same as the property --failok. The current run will create a JAR file even if there were errors.
Will print the exception when the software has ran into a bad exception and bails out. Normally only a message is printed. For debugging or diagnostic reasons, the exception stack trace can be very helpful.
Do full
Identify another project
Build for test
Specify the output file path. The default is output.jar in the current directory
