This can be reproduced on the develop branch with:

mvn clean
mvn package -Passembly -DskipTests

An workaround is to use mvn install first:

mvn clean
mvn install -DskipTests
mvn package -Passembly -DskipTests

This is still an issue. It used to work without having to first call mvn install.

We could also use a bnd based build like: https://github.com/komma/komma/tree/master/bundles/vendor/net.enilink.bundles.rdf4j

I have basically no experience with OSGI so I also don’t know that bnd based build is. From looking at the bnd file in the link it seems a lot simpler than what we are currently doing.

If you can contribute a fix based on bnd I would be very grateful :)

[kenwenzel]

It is not that different from the current approach. The Felix Maven Bundle Plugin just uses bnd under the hood. But I think we can get rid of ant by using the assembly plugin and simplify a bit by directly using the bnd-maven-plugin.

An even better approach could be to just add correct OSGi manifests to the individual artifacts as mentioned in #4079 and drop the runtime-osgi artifact.

I'll take a look within the next days.
