Create a Bundle Manifest

Every bundle must contain a bundle manifest, which is a Java manifest file that contains OSGi-specific headers. These headers provide the OSGi container with the following information about the bundle:

• Which resources the bundle expects to be able to source from other bundles deployed in the OSGi container. Resources are specified using package names and will be imported from other bundles.
• The classpath within the bundle to access resources within the bundle itself
• Name and version information about the bundle
• The resources that the bundle exposes for access by other bundles
• The location of other resources that are to be included in the bundle

Note: The name of the manifest file must be manifest.mf, in lower-case.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate the sample manifest, then copy and rename the file.
2. Open the new file in a text editor and update the information.
