When packaging is set to bundle ant:ant task generates an empty package target containting the following message "No Ant task exists for the packaging 'bundle'. You could overrided the Ant package target in your build.xml." It would be good if packaging bundle is handled the same way as packaging jar. This will allow generating build.xml good enough for building a jar though it not be an OSGi bundle but this is good enough for bootstrapping purposes. It would be even better if a parameter for setting the MANIFEST.MF is present, e.g being able to use `ant -Dmaven.bundle.manifest=./MANIFEST.MF package`
