Does anybody know wether it is possible to create a custom resolver?
Yes, but hardly advisable unless you have Way Too Much Time™ on your hands.
Yes, I thought so.
I've searched for these kind of things and found OBR(?) but
unfortunately topics aren't too clear on this subject.
OBR is for now under-specified and only implemented in the most simplistic
way. There is active work going on in the OSGi working group to make it
more practical.
My context is as follows: I've a cluster of servers (OSGi) and I want to
deploy a new application to each of these servers. These new
applications however sometimes have dependencies which are not installed
on the (OSGi) server in question. In these cases I want the server to
handle the missing dependencies by looking in a central repository. If
the dependency is found then it should be installed if not: throw the
unresolved dependencies exception.

Nimble uses the metadata present in every bundle and resolves
dependencies, taking special care of optionality and situations that are
impossible to resolve automatically due to any ambiguities.
Thanks for the reference, it sounds very interesting. I'm definitely
checking the possibility.
I use this every day - including hot-updating bundles from my maven repo
into a running runtime - and haven't manually installed bundle
dependencies in forever. Disclaimer: I work for the company, but not
directly on Nimble.
If you think you can reinvent this on your own..good luck. :)
I'd rather not but I couldn't find something like Paremus provides.
Another possibility provided by Christopher Brind is Apache Felix Sigil.

But Sigil can't run in Felix, right? It seems its only intended for
compile-time (Eclipse/Ivy)
