Just for sake of completeness:
3. Use Pax URL to dynamically wrap the existing jar.
See http://wiki.ops4j.org/display/paxurl/Pax+URL for more info on that.

Well, one thing you could do is wrap the external jar and turn it into
an OSGi bundle. There's two ways to do this:
1. Update the manifest of the jar to add the OSGi metadata
(Bundle-SymbolicName, Import-Package, Export-Package etc)
2. Wrap the jar as-is on another bundle jar that has the OSGi metadata
and a Bundle-Classpath header pointing to the embedded jar.
Option 1 has the benefit that the jar is also still an ordinary jar
that
could potentially be used outside of OSGi (this is sometimes desired).
Option 2 has the benefit that you don't need to modify the original,
as
it is embedded as-is in a new jar.
In both cases the resulting bundle is fully OSGi compliant and will
work
with any OSGi container.
The BND tool from Peter Kriens (and its mavenized version the
maven-bundle-plugin) will help you create these.

There is no standard way to reference an external jar from a bundle.
In OSGi, bundles can only satisfy their code dependencies by
import-package/require-bundle constraints or with their own private
content. There is an Equinox specific way to do this but it greatly
breaks the notion of modularity. You should ask such questions on the
equinox newsgroup.
