how to use maven with osgi in eclipse?

I'm new with maven and OSGi and i want to use OSGi with maven. At the beginning i search but i haven't find some article that fit my needs. SO i decided to ask here.

I have understand that i have to use maven-bundle-plugin but i don't know how to use it on eclipse. Please if you know how to integrate it on eclipse explain me it.

I have already downloaded the m2e integration from Eclipse's marketplace and i have installed it.

I have also followed the steps of this tutorial but in my case doesn't appear the maven option on the context menu.

This is probably a bit outdated. If you use a current eclipse then m2e is preinstalled (best use Luna, I got some problems with m2e and Mars). Then just create a new maven project or import an existing one. I use the maven bundle plugin in a normal maven build (not tycho). So do not use the eclipse plugin perspective.

See also the Karaf Tutorials for complete examples.

If you want to develop OSGi bundles or run OSGi container and get the bundles as maven dependencies, you might find this unfinished tutorial useful: http://cookbook.everit.org/

Please note that such tutorials get out-of-date easily as the tools are rapidly improved for OSGi. E.g.: The tutorial I mentioned will be reviewed soon if bnd-maven-plugin can be used instead of maven-bundle-plugin.
