The maven-bnd-plugin does most things right, but there is always a question of hiding internal packages/classes. Instead of aiming for running 'naked' on a blank OSGi container, I think it is generally better to start out with something like Apache Karaf. It will provide a lot for relatively little, incl so called wrapping of JARs into Bundles, provided by Pax URL[1] project, which also provides URL references of various kinds for many things. So, even if not going with Karaf, take a look at Pax URL. And in River, there is likely to be classloading issues, and although "Dynamic-ImportPackage" is available as a last resort, it should be avoided. Almost always the context classloader is a "mess", and there is a tendency of memory leaks when it is involved.
