Maven Equinox plugin

Question

Is there any plugin available that would integrate maven and equinox runtime.? I want my osgi bundles to be packaged , deployed and run in equinox. I am searching for maven commands to perform the whole controlling operations (build the bundles, package and deploy them).

EDIT #1 Somehow I managed to execute maven pax plugin. When I gave the command mvn install pax:provision I got the following error

PaxRunner can help you to deploy bundles of your Maven project and run Equinox

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.ops4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-pax-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
    <configuration>
         <framework>equinox</framework>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
