The following does not answer your question with respect to the OSGi Alliance’s official plans… however I have already built a proof-of-concept demonstrating that OSGi can run within the Java 9 “unnamed module” and resolve dependencies against the platform modules. I wrote a blog post about it here: http://njbartlett.name/2015/11/13/osgi-jigsaw.html
