Doubt w.r.t .bnd file, while creating a bundle with CRXDE

[askdctm]

Hi All,

Suppose I create a bundle with CRXDE. What does the .bnd file contain?

a] Extra metadata about the bundle used by the CRXDE build process.

b]The compilation and deployment steps of the bundle

c]The Activator class to notify start and stop events

Can any one let me know which one of the above is correct? Any thoughts/detailed explanation would be helpful.

From http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/develop/dev-tools/developing-with-crxde-lite.html

"It acts as deployment descriptor for your bundle and consists of a set of headers."

I believe this provides the details : http://www.aqute.biz/Bnd/Bnd

Its not best practice to create bundles using CRXDE anymore. Now its best practice to use MAVEN. See:
