Hi JB,

thanks for your reply.

About your comment that you don't understand why people would like to
use OSGi bundles if possible instead of import stuff into private
packages:

Isn't one thing we prefer in OSGi that we program / compile against an
API instead of a specific implementation?
I would like to move from Jackson, Gson, Johnzon Mapper usage (hard
dependency because using that specific implementation) to JSON-P
(JSR-353) and JSON-B (JSR-367).
Doesn't it make sense (for you) to such an official standard?

After more and more bundles (of mine) will be migrated to e.g. JSON-B
I would like to use JSON-B in my OSGi environments easily.
Just state that there must be such an implementation available at runtime.

Is this wrong?
Isn't that exactly what has been chosen for the reference
implementation of the Configurator by Apache Felix?
They didn't embed an JSON-P implementation in the configurator bundle
but an implementation of our choose can be used at runtime.

johnzon-jsonb already contains the OSGi related headers in its
manifest I just want to get it working.
I already created a fake bundle that just tell the runtime it would
provide the requested capability (without providing it).
This works at the moment as it seems no-one really needs the requested
capabilities.
(I have to use a bundle instead of a feature because it should work in
Karaf and inside any other OSGi runtime that does not know about Karaf
specific stuff e.g. features).

Wouldn't it be better to get / "know" the correct bundle set to get it
working and perhaps create some PRs to get it working everywhere
instead of fixing it downstream on my side only?

I will provide the specific messages later.
AFAIK servicemix already provides some API bundles (for other APIs)
that differ between the plain API bundles as the servicemix ones
contains a serviceloader and that manifest entries.

Best regards,
Markus
