My application has a dependency on a "classic" jar. How can I use it?
To be able to use your jar in osgi, the jar's manifest must have at least some mandatory osgi headers. You can archive this goal in many ways as by adding the entries by yourself, using bnd, maven-bundle-plugin or Pax Construct. In all of this ways you will be able to ransform the "classic" jar into an OSGi bundle. But all of them are doing it at build time. By using the wrap: protocol you will be able to transform the jar into a bundle at runtime. See details.
