Using PDE and Maven2 to create OSGi bundle [message #13832]

I'm trying to use PDE and Maven2 to create an OSGi bundle. The project
layout is following the recommendations as defined by Maven2.
As such sources are located in src/main/resources and resources are in
src/main/resources.

As PDE expects the MANIFEST.MF in <project-dir>/META-INF it is generated
by maven-bundle-plugin at this location.

When running the bundle inside the IDE (using a custom Target Platform,
namely Spring-DM) for debugging no resources from src/main/resources
(e.g. log4j.properties or spring context files) are picked up (i.e. loaded).

As these resources are moved to the plugin project's root folder things
work fine!
Is there any chance to configure the project such that PDE is aware of
this non eclipse like directory layout?

Thanks
Martin

With his excellent notes and help, I managed to get most of the work done.
