Source jars with Eclipse source bundle Manifest entries

For Eclipse consumers, it is handy if source jars are valid Eclipse source bundles.
(Otherwise we have to re-bundle for are development target platform).

The maven-source-plugin configured something like below will do the trick.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>attach-sources</id>
            <phase>verify</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>jar-no-fork</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <archive>
                    <manifest>
                        <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
                        <addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries>
                    </manifest>
                    <manifestEntries>
                        <Bundle-ManifestVersion>2</Bundle-ManifestVersion>
                        <Bundle-Description>${project.name}
                            Source</Bundle-Description>
                        <Bundle-SymbolicName>${project.artifactId}.source</Bundle-SymbolicName>
                        <Eclipse-SourceBundle>${project.artifactId};version="${project.version}"</Eclipse-SourceBundle>
                        <Bundle-Version>${project.version}</Bundle-Version>
                    </manifestEntries>
                </archive>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
