If I have fun I can do non useful work :-) sure not too long time.
BTW I know it's possible to have a maven build for tomcat.
I will finish importing current stuff I have done in the github fork
and provide a working build in the sandbox branch.
After it's more a decision from the tomcat community (I still wonder
what a community is: only dev folks, users , possible new contributors
etc... maybe all of that).
So as I cannot be really objective in such discussion/decision :-).
I will let other decide. (I just wanted to prove it can be done
relatively easily)

Not sure this has any link with the current maven metadata provided by
the current ant build.
The ant build can certainly provide all MANIFEST files to include
needed osgi metadatas.
It's just something to do manually. At least the maven plugin provided
by the felix project verify a bit manually writen osgi metadata.
