Rename maven-osgi-exec-plugin to equinox-maven-plugin

[kenwenzel]

maven-osgi-exec-plugin does currently not follow Maven's naming conventions for 3rd party plugins:

Artifact Ids of the format maven-___-plugin are reserved for 
plugins in the Group Id org.apache.maven.plugins
Please change your artifactId to the format ___-maven-plugin
In the future this error will break the build.

I would suggest to simply name the plugin equinox-maven-plugin.
Later it may provide the goals configure, run (instead of exec-osgi) and test.

Maybe it is also a good idea to move this plugin into a project on its own.

[kenwenzel]

Do you have any suggestions on the next step for this issue?

[tomsontom]

I'd like to keep this all in one github project.

On the name what if we name it "equinox--maven-"?
We'd then have:

• equinox-launch-maven-plugin
• equinox-package-maven-plugin
• equinox-targetplatform-maven-extension
• equinox-targetplatform-maven-lib
• equinox-targetplatform-maven-plugin

[kenwenzel]

Yes, that is also ok - although the package and targetplatform plugins are more or less p2/pde specific.

[kenwenzel]

Maybe equinox-launch-maven-plugin could also be named equinox-run-maven-plugin (like bnd-run-maven-plugin)...

Dear @tomsontom,
can I do anything to accelerate the refactoring?
Best regards, Ken

[tomsontom]

I'm swapped with work but i'll try to reserve some time next week to work on that

[kenwenzel]

@tomsontom Do you have any update for me on this task? Can I help somehow?

[tomsontom]

gosh sorry - this completely fell of my list

[kenwenzel]

Please let me know if I can do something :-)
