There are two tools in Apache felix can probably help:
1) mangen - OSGi Bundle Manifest generator
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FELIX/Bundle+Manifest+Generator+%28mangen%29
We could use it to create OSGi bundles out of the existing jars.
2) Maven Bundle Plugin 1.2.0
We could use it to automate the generating OSGi manifests as part of the
maven build.
Thanks,
Raymond

The only issue would be the
creation of these entries. We have two options - 1)generate them
automatically during the build process using the maven-bundle-plugin,
+1 or another automated process
or 2)
hand-code a manifest file. It would be easiest to go with option 2) to
start
with to avoid any build issues. If it becomes difficult to maintain the
hand-coded manifest file, we can move to option 1).
I'd suggest to write it by hand once to define the target to automate,
then automate its generation right away.
The manifest entries will contain bundle names, versions, imported
packages,
exported packages and a bundle classpath(which lists jars contained
inside
the zip).
Can you post an example or put it in SVN? Thanks.
