Mickael Istria commented on LOCUS-39:
-------------------------------------

{quote}I am also curious why we don't use inclusion of actual jar inside bundle and then expose it through OSGi, for examle like that https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-locus/compare/jbosstools:master...dgolovin:locus-dmg-question?expand=1. Are there any class loading related problems?{quote}
This has an extra cost on Equinox performances. It's the main reason why Orbit does this as well. Also, nested jars can confuse PDE which doesn't add them correctly in the classpath and so on.
So overall, it's not as good aa repackaging in plain OSGi.

> I've had the opportunity to attend a presentation about EBR, a technology to turn plain jars from Maven as OSGi bunle (generating MANIFEST, source bundle, p2 metadata...). I have the impression that it fits quite nicely most of our Locus bundles, we should consider adopting it.
