ok, that's fine, i wanted to get a sense of what would fit in the

Well, if you really want to play with it, I would recommend creating a
plugin that does exactly what you suggest and seeing how well it works
and if there is general interest.
However, if you were just getting a feel for ideas, then you should
consider if the default capabilities of the plugin (as described in my
other response) meet the needs you are trying to address. I think we all
agree that it would be nice if Maven generated JARs could automatically
be used as bundles, we just chose different approaches to achieve that.

I think I understand what you are trying to do as far as getting the
maven-bundle-plugin to use more of the pom.xml data, but I agree with
Richard in saying that Require-Bundle can be troublesome and I
definitely
wouldn't want it to be a default mechanism because it would start new
users
on the wrong foot if they didn't know any better.
I think in general, there is an impedance mismatch between OSGi bundle
dependencies and Maven project dependencies so for now I am not sure
it can
get much better than the what the maven-bundle-plugin does today.
