Add bundle plugin and packaging

Add bundle packaging process to declare exported packages in OSGI environment

[vonnieda]

Hi @nicolas-rempulski,

I'm not familiar with the bundle plugin. Can you tell me a little more about what this changes? Will I need to change the release process at all, or does this just add some metadata?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi @vonnieda,

Bundle packaging is based on BND and is a way for a jar to self-describe itself (mostly packages it provides and packages it requires). It doesn't change the classes bytecode wise, but it add meta informations in the META-INF. In your project, mostly exported packages.

I had to modify your packaging to include it in an OSGI environment (Wisdom Framework) and thought it could be useful if others need this packaging. As it do not modify the bytecode, it is harmless for projects that doesn't use the extra META-INF informations.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for this OpenCV packaging. We grabbed the 3.0.0 branch before the merge and we use it actively in our project and his saved us a lot of headaches :)
