Currently I have a situation, where I develop a project, then run mvn install and it get's put into my local Maven repository as a simple JAR file
Then, I have a crafted by some other guys "environment" which includes a whole lot of bundles and stuff, and is ultimately run via mvn pax:run and it takes like 5 minutes to run
I would like to be able to just run felix:update <bundle-name> but I cannot fill the gap between a Maven JAR artifact in local Maven repo, and a ready-for-provisioning bundle that I could put somewhere to just run felix:update or whatever, maybe uninstall/install
When I try to run mvn pax:create-bundle with my project, it throws a Containing project does not have packaging type 'pom' exception
Any help is highly appreciated
UPDATE: I've noticed that problems with re-installed bundle begin in it's activator, with a ClassNotFoundException (although the class mentioned is and always present in the bundle, so it must an issue with classpath, ClassLoader setup or whatever)

If you have a path to a file which is the newly built bundle, you can update it from the Gogo shell as follows:
felix:update <bundleid> file:/path/to/file
refresh
Where <bundleid> is the numeric ID of the bundle that you want to update. The refresh command is needed in case any bundles depend on or import packages from the bundle you are updating; this command will cause the Framework to attempt to re-resolve them using the new dependency.
