i am new to the whole OSGi stuff and my task is to create an OSGi Bundle out from an exisitng maven project.

To get started i decided to pick the smallest part and starting with it:

Here is the pom.xml

project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

</dependencies>

I did some research and found the Apache Bundle Plugin for maven and changed the pom to this

<packaging>bundle</packaging>

and added

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
            <extensions>true</extensions>
            <configuration>
                <instructions>          
                    <Bundle-SymbolicName>${pom.artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName>
                </instructions>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

mvn clean install went fine and i got a jar file containing the manifest, but of course the bundle could not be resolved

 BundleException: The bundle "cross-main_1.2.12.SNAPSHOT [30]" could not be resolved. Reason: Missing Constraint: Import-Package: com.db4o; version="[8.0.0,9.0.0)

To make a long story short: What are the possibiliteis to migrate a maven application into an OSGi Bundle?

Espacially how to manage the dependencys
