Your manifest does not contain the declaration "Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2". That means it is interpreted as "Bundle-ManifestVersion: 1"... in other words an OSGi Release 3 (or older) compatible bundle.
Before Release 4, OSGi had no mandatory manifest headers, even Bundle-SymbolicName. Therefore ALL valid JAR files were also valid bundles. However this was not very useful since a bundle that does not have any imports, exports or activator would not be able to do anything.
