I am trying to wrap multiple osgi bundles into a single uber-jar bundle. From some source bundles I want to strip the declarative services being defined in folder OSGI-INF. I tried the following instructions in the bnd file: ```auto -includeresource: @mybundle-1.0.0.jar!/!(OSGI-INF/*), ... ``` But still the OSGI-INF from mybundle ends up in the resulting bundle. I guess this is because the services are referenced in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. For all other regular folders the exclusions work properly. How can I build an uber-jar from multiple bundles but leaving out some declarative services? Is there some special instruction or bnd plugin for it or do I rather have to use something like maven-shade-plugin? ---

Are you sure Bnd is not regenerating DS, Metatype, etc from the jar contents? You may need to disable annotation processing by Bnd. e.g. `-dsannotations:` `-metatypeannotations:` ---

note that, with @bjhargrave 's suggestion, you can use negative package syntax to prevent only certain packages from being analyzed by certain plugins: ```nohighlight -dsannotations: !this.package, * -metatype: !this.package, * ``` ---

Thanks a lot for that pointer. Indeed the DS and metatype metadata were regenerated from the given bundle. For some reason I assumed that DS annotations had a SOURCE retention policy ([RetentionPolicy (Java Platform SE 8 )](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/RetentionPolicy.html#SOURCE)) With ```auto -dsannotations: -metatype: ``` I could disable generating DS component metadata but the metatype is still being generated for some reason… ---

Oops. Its actually `-metatypeannotations:`. ---

Thanks again. Would you mind adding an entry for that instruction to [Instruction Index | bnd](https://bnd.bndtools.org/chapters/825-instructions-ref.html)? ---
