Look like some pre-processing need to run when packaging this bundle to replace that place holder with <service> tag Also noticed that the bundle contain service file to be loaded by ServiceLoader which is not available in an OSGI env, if this is the only way to load service then perhaps, the manifest of the bundle also need to specify that it require a service mediator
