Hi Marshall, I am very interested in this. Some time back I mostly gave up on packaging UIMA components as OSGi bundles because of this. If you do not bundle all jars (*jikes*) and use package imports instead, the questions is: where do the dependencies come from? Who prepares the bundles and who installs them? Many JARs are not available as OSGi bundles.
