I see. That solves the typical trouble that OSGI solves. In OSGI you can
load several versions of the same third library and each bundle tells which
version it wants to use.
I understand your concern about this huge list of packages to maintain. I
thought that the unit test will detect and tell if some packages must be added
to the <osgi.import> and <osgi.export>.
But I'm struggling withe maven-shade-plugin and maven-bundle-plugin to make
this bundle automatically without having to specify the list of packages to
import and to export. I'm trying what's suggested in this
[ticket](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1184) without any success.
I don't give up...
