I wanted to package the DKPro Core UIMA modules as OSGi bundle. These have lots of dependencies on various JARs that are not available as OSGi bundles and sometimes not even available in public Maven repositories - this is why we set up a public repository of our own for the moment. It may be less an issue for the UIMA sandbox, as the individual components may not depend on third-party libraries.
Looking the Add Ons repository, I would suspect that Tika, Solr, Rhino, BeanShell and maybe some of the Apache Commons JARs may not be OSGi bundles. I guess you aim for a mixed setup where some dependencies (namely UIMA) are imported via package-imports and others (namely the above) are packaged inside the bundles?
