The Embed-Dependency instruction is specific to the maven-bundle-plugin because the Bnd Tool does not know anything about Maven or its artifact dependency graph. Think of it as a pre-processor step: the bundleplugin takes the Embed-Dependency instruction along with the dependencies from Maven and generates the appropriate general-purpose Include-Resource and Bundle-ClassPath entries used by Bnd. The code to do this is in its own file and should be straightforward to follow: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/bundleplugin/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/bundleplugin/DependencyEmbedder.java But note that if you're running this outside of Maven you'll have to find some way to pass in the dependency list (either that or use Maven in an embedded form).
