It looks like the original message was delayed.
Following your consideration number 3. I looked into the
conf/config.properties file and I saw this:
org.osgi.framework.system.packages=org.osgi.framework; version=1.3.0, \
org.osgi.service.packageadmin ; version=1.2.0, \
org.osgi.service.startlevel; version=1.0.0, \
org.osgi.service.url; version=1.0.0, \
${jre-${java.specification.version}}
So I have to put my lib jar file into that or all the packages that I
need to import?
How I can do this?
You have to put your libs onto the class path (e.g., java -classpath
mylib.jar ...). On the property above, you just put the packages that
you are exporting from the class path.
I assume you want to do it this way because you are embedding Felix into
another application and your host application needs to access the libs
too. If so, then this makes sense. However, if your host application
does not need to access these libraries, then it is better if you can
put these libraries in bundles and export the packages. Then you can
control the libraries' entire life cycle dynamically through the framework.

You have three options:
1. Embed the JAR files into each bundle that needs them (this
works
if there is no sharing).
2. Create separate bundles for each JAR file and have them
export all
of their packages (this allows bundles to share the packages).
3. Put the JAR files on the class path and export them from the
system bundle. The way you do this is to edit the
'org.osgi.framework.system.packages' property in the
conf/config.properties files to export the packages you want to
make visible, then your bundles can import those packages to
use them.
There is no way to reference external JAR files directly on a bundle's
class path.
