This is an FAQ, and if it were easy, I guess we'd have implemented a
solution already ;-)

You have to worry about transitive dependencies, API bundles vs.
implementation bundles (like org.osgi.core vs.
org.apache.felix.framework) and lots of other things. For every
scenario or proposal I've seen so far, it is easy to construct
counterexamples where the suggested approach would not work.

I'm not saying it can't be done at all, but my feeling is it would be
a lot of effort to catch all sorts of weird cases, and I don't think
it would pay off.

Another benefit of listing provisioned bundles explicitly is working
with different configurations in different tests of the same Maven
project, which would not be possible if the configuration were derived
from the POM.

Best regards,
Harald
