BTW, one way to exclude transitive dependencies at the moment is:
1A) specify wrapped jars as dependencies with 'runtime' scope and
use the maven-dependency-plugin to copy them into a directory
called 'lib' ... the dependency plugin has an excludeTransitive
option to not copy the extra jars, but they'll still get downloaded.
or...
1B) use the maven-dependency-plugin to copy named artifacts to
a directory called lib (no excludeTransitive is needed for this)
This has the benefit of not downloading the extra jars, but the
maven-eclipse-plugin won't add them to the generated classpath.
2) use the following instructions in the maven-bundle-plugin:
<Include-Resource>lib=lib</Include-Resource>
<Bundle-ClassPath>lib/${wrapped.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar</Bundle-ClassPath>
where wrapped.artifactId is a property set inside the pom
This should wrap the original jarfile inside the OSGi bundle (ie. no unpacking).

Hi Michael,
If the original jar has dependencies with 'compile' scope then they're added to
the build classpath and packaged in the final bundle. This may or may not be
what you want - some jars have dependencies that form a collective module
and would never appear separately, so you'd like those dependencies added.
Other jars have dependencies that could be shared among a lot of bundles
(ie. jdbc) - in that case you'd make a separate bundle of the dependency and
would not want it added to the parent jar (to avoid classpath issues & bloat).
If you decide to not include a dependency inside a bundle, you should probably
declare the import as optional using ";resolution:=optional".
