So is this statement from ivy trunk docs misleading/wrong or ?

"You can also declare in your ivy.xml some OSGi dependency, 
like a Require-Bundle, an Import-Package or an Import-Service, miming 
an OSGi MANIFEST.MF."

My takeaway from this thread so far is that we must duplicate and invent some 
ad-hoc mapping between ivy and bnd files.

Is it clear to anyone?

I would like to not duplicate meta data in bnd template file if possible.

I already have rev information in my ivy file, so it would be nice if that
info could make it into the osgi manifest, e.g., OSGi version ranges in the
Import-Package:  based on the ivy rev attribute patterns.
E.g., have dependencies like commons-lang [2.6,3[, slf4j-api [1.6.3,)
get turned into properly structured OSGi version syntax.

Is this possible?
