Hi Rafal, can you please tell what is the state of this fork? We would need this extra attributes in "resource" element of an OBR repo in order to use Felix Web Console OBR plug-in. Is it mature enough to use it? Or maybe there are some other developments in that direction? Thanks

I haven't finished that work, mainly because working on issue #7 took me much further afield than I originally expected. You can see the results in the feature/filters branch in this repository. I have written a quite robust little library for programmatically composing / parsing / manipulating (through AST traversal) OSGi filters and other related constructs. I've almost finished it but then life got interesting and I had to leave it aside for unspecified future. I can't commit to any time frame for continuing / finishing this project.

Regarding other developments, Bndtools team (who were also initial contributors of the code) forked osgi/bindex into their own space and that's what they are using now. The politics behind that were not explained on the mailing list besides "it's for the best and everyone is cool with that". I don't know if it's relevant to your interests though...

Thanks for your answer. Would you mind if I quote/link it on the Stackoverflow? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19793441/how-to-get-extra-attributes-in-resource-element-of-an-obr-repository
