Hi all,

I'm wondering if what I want to do is possible.  There are a number of
OS libraries out there with their own dependencies, e.g., jackrabbit
which has the following dependencies:

jcr-1.0.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.0.jar
log4j-1.2.8.jar
xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar
xmlParserApis-2.0.2.jar
derby-10.1.3.1.jar
concurrent-1.3.4.jar
lucene-1.4.3.jar

So I thought it would be a good idea to package jackrabbit as an OSGi
bundle (since I don't think jackrabbit does this themselves).  So I
created a new maven project, added these as dependencies (regular jar
dependencies), and configured the maven bundle plugin.  It worked like a
charm and I appear to have valid OSGi bundles.

The problem is that when I create a dependency on this project from
another project (e.g. a webapp project), it not only includes the bundle
in the deployment, but the jars that were used to make up the
deployment.  I guess what I'm trying to do could be summed up as being
the same thing as creating an "eclipse plugin project from existing
jars", if that makes sense.  Am I going about this the right way?

Cheers,
Craig
