It can be made sort of pluggable. There are jars that have OSGi activators and manifests that handle all the OSGi-specific functionality and are otherwise ignored when the jar's used outside of OSGi.
A couple things you need to pay attention to: - Thread control. Just because you stop a bundle doesn't mean threads that bundle started will be stopped as well. So your thread management needs to be sensitive to changes in the bundle state. - Classloader. Each bundle has its own classloader, and can have a problem seeing class definitions outside itself unless specifically made visible through the manifests. Full classpaths aren't sufficient; they need to be exposed. And for the sake of passing objects between bundles you may be relying on interfaces more than usual.
