Hi Martin,

Thanks for submitting the patch. I'll take a look at it over the
weekend and see if we can integrate it.

Cheers,
Alex

Also it would be good if the patch was accompanied by a unit test :-)

Sure. Some tests are attached, but I did not tests these. (For the
moment, I'm too lazy to dig deeply into the bushel testing code).

I've taken a look at your patch. I couldn't apply it as it was, but
you can see the changes I've made here to add description support :

Hi Alex,

I had a look at it
<http://code.google.com/p/bushel/source/detail?r=115> but I could not
find the 'tricky part': How to read the description from a
properties-file inside the jar if it is externalized (i.e. the
Manifest-header value starts with a percent sign).

But i guess the integration into BushelManifestParser is not as easy
as I did with with OsgiManifestParser.

I'll take another look at the externalised part soon. First step was
to just preserve the description in the Ivy repo. I haven't look at
the externalised string support in the OSGi spec, if you have any
references to documentation it would be handy.

You can find it in 'OSGi Service Platform Core Specification', chapter
3.10 Localization.
The above PDF can be downloaded at osgi.org
