By the way, it's also possible to embed jars in a bundle, but that's not in the OSGi spirit. AFAIK, there is no way to put these information outside the jar (JBoss Modules is less intrusive here). Do you know of any other JSR published JAR that also expose its OSGi JAX-RS (JSR-311) expose the OSGi headers in its Manifest<http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax.ws.rs/j... . No need to OSGi-ified the JDK, by default it's part of every Bundle classloader. Currently, for BV there is no dependencies, so all packages just need to be exported (like JAX-RS). I agree that if a dependency, non OSGi-ified, is added to BV the interest is limited. I see two cases: * the dependency can be OSGi-ified by the user -> OK * the dependency cannot be OSGi-ified -> BV cannot be deployed as a bundle (but can be embedded in the user bundle) --Kevin On 27 oct. 2011, at 22:52, Kevin Pollet wrote:
