[rules-users] Need Camel + drools (OSGI) integration help

It's not an obvious how to OSGI-fy something :)

I did some homework - now I have OSGi-ified versions of drools-spring and
drools-camel.
Also I created own bundle and tried to import KnowledgeBaseFactoryService,
ServiceRegistry and KnowledgeBaseFactoryService as described in
http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.2/userguide/ch18.html#d0e4308.
All what I got - NullPointerException from karaf core (haven't gotten full
staketrace yet. For some reason it is just:
15:11:34,484 | INFO  | l Console Thread | Console
 | ?                                   ? | 34 -
org.apache.karaf.shell.console - 2.2.2.fuse-02-13 | Exception caught while
executing command
java.lang.NullPointerException
)

So, I spent some time randomly adding and removing configuration params and
I found - NPE occurs when I'm trying to import
org.drools.KnowledgeBaseFactoryService.
I guess (i'm not OSGI expert) it could be because org.drools package is
exported in 2! bundles. It is in drools-core and knowledge-api bundles. And
I guess, karaf container just can't link my bundle with both core and api,
only first bundle which contains requested package (org.drools) wins.

Any ideas on how to make it work?
I actually have one - every bundle should export own package. For
knowledge-api it should be org.drools.api, and org.drools.core for
drools-core.

Here is full log of similar packages:
