Internally, the provisioning goes through OSGi Repository service, which prefers local file access (i.e. those bundles) but would also understand Maven coordinates. Every bundle capability definition using a module id can be replaced with a definition that uses maven coordinates. </div><div><br></div><div>There is an <a href="https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4615">outstanding task</a> about populating the repository with capacities/requirements from the 'modules' directory. It would be trivial to write a module loader that accesses the already existing Repository service. If anybody is thinking about a ModuleLoader backed by a Repository, please coordinate with me. The <a href="http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r5/core/org/osgi/resource/package-frame.html">Resource API</a>, that talks about generic caps/reqs is not limited to OSGi.
