Thanks Yegor. I raised https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SM-5183 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SM-5184 yesterday. Feel free to add extra detail to those issues.

There are two main reasons for that: 1. The Service Mix POI bundle didn't always work in my projects. I checked the latest Service Mix release and it failed to install on a bare Apache Felix instance with a 'org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Duplicate import: org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.schema' exception. Packaging OSGi bundles in a project with many dependencies can be a non-trivial task. We can raise a bug in Service Mix and get it fixed, but I believe it should be our responsibility.It's just not obvious for a 3rd party project to figure out the correct combination of exports/imports. 2. There is a lag between releasing POI and releasing the Service Mix POI bundle . If we include poi-osgi in our releases it will improve acceptance of POI in the OSGi world. >> Is there anything special needed to release that bundle? we will need to revisit the maven dependencies and make sure they are aligned with the actual versions in the Gradle build. Also, poi-osgi is a Maven project which does not fit in the Ant/Gradle build.
