Maven Shade Plugin: Transformer for Bndtools

This is an extension to the Maven Shade plug-in in order to work correctly on MANIFEST.MF files when used alongside the Bndtools on the same module. It provides a custom Resource Transformer.

The transformer org.sonarsource.sonarlint.maven.shade.ext.ManifestBndTransformer is used in order to exchange the MANIFEST.MF file on normal and sources JAR archives if the configuration offers a replacement. In the case of sonarlint-java-client-osgi this is used as the Bndtools are generating the MANIFEST.MF files and the OSGi content while the Maven Shade plug-in is used to pack the necessary dependencies or relocate others.

To the console it logs all the dependencies it processing when shading / relocating in order to determine if shading / relocating is done on a normal or sources JAR archive. The log output is:

[maven-shade-ext-bnd-transformer : ManifestBndTransformer] Processing {Bundle-Name} / {Bundle-SymbolicName}

per archive but both Bundle-Name and Bundle-SymbolicName can be null! It also logs once the Maven Shade plug-in comes to a close which MANFIEST.MF file will be used and moved into the JAR archive.
