Felix,
I think it would be great if you could offer these...perhaps Enrique can
help us out with describing how he envisions this taking place.
For the time being, I can list your potential contributions on the wiki
page.

Hi,
If you have libraries you have turned into bundles, then you can offer
to contribute them.
I was thinking lately that we could actually define a common
process/approach for bundling third-party libs and define a POM file
template for our new maven plugin for doing so. Then the whole process
potentially becomes really simple. Felix Commons could become a large
"project" of POMs where each simply has a dependency on the library it
wants to convert, which will then convert it automatically with the
plugin when built...then we just need to make the resulting JARs
publicly available (perhaps through OBR and Maven) and we are done.
Great thing ! In fact, I could already share some of them: BeanUtils,
Codec, Collections, Configuration, Digester, EL, FileUpload,
HTTPClient, IO, Lang plus CGLib.
They are currently based on the older OSGi plugin, but of course I
would migrate them to the new plugin, which is on my plate anyway.
Here is for example, what I did for Commons Lang (old plugin):
