In most cases, creating bundlized versions of a library is as simple as creating a POM file for the library using Felix' new Maven Bundle Plugin. The OSGi headers are non-intrusive. A JAR can be made in such a way that it runs on the Classpath as well as a bundle in an OSGi framework. In short you:

  1. Set the groupId to:
    Code Block
    xml
    xml
    <groupId>org.apache.felix.commons</groupId>
  2. Append "-osgi" to the name of the artifact:
    Code Block
    xml
    xml
    <artifactId>FOO-osgi</artifactId>
  3. Set the "packaging" to use the Maven Bundle Plugin:
    Code Block
    xml
    xml
    <packaging>bundle</packaging>
  4. Set any configuration options in the Maven Bundle Plugin.

We recommend you read the longer steps for converting a library to a bundle.
