For your convenience, here's the README from the attachment.
===== begin README ===== This is my first attempt at creating a bundle for commons-logging (and all the jars on which it depends). While I could have simply created a single large bundle for commons-logging that inlined all of its dependency jars, many of its dependencies are useful library jars in their own right. So, to be as modular as possible, I created a bundle for each of the dependency jars. While my cursory testing shows that these bundles work in Felix, there are still a couple of issues left to work out. - Copying the library jar to project directory so <Include-Resource> can access it. Currently this is a manual process that, if possible, needs to be automated in maven. A better solution would be for the maven-bundle-plugin to find and use the library jar file in the maven repository. - Maven dependencies vs OSGi bundle dependencies. I don't fully understand maven dependency handling, OSGi dependency handling, nor how they compare. Only the library jar file needs to be listed in the <dependencies> section in the pom.xml file. This relieves us from worrying about dependencies when creating the bundle. However, all dependency bundles must be loaded in Felix before commons-logging-osgi can be started, whether the dependency jar is used by the commons-loggin configuration or not. For example, if commons-logging is not configured to use avalon, the avalon-framework-osgi bundle (and all of its dependencies) are required to be loaded and started before commons-logging-osgi will start. Perhaps this is a limitation on how commons-logging was built. Perhaps I misunderstand how commongs-logging is supposed to work. Perhaps I misunderstand how OSGi dependency management works. Hopefully, these bundles are useful enough for others to start using them. If they need refinement, perhaps others smarter than me on the above topics can improve them as needed.
