If you are only using parts of

This is actually a good idea for small dependencies and allows for the
encapsulation of them. We do this in Apache Felix SCR for example for
the XML parser. No other bundles knows about this parser so there is
also no version conflict etc.
I went to a session by Peter Kriens lately and he said that if you're
using the third party stuff just for this one bundle, embed it. You
should always think what might be the bigger pain: handling the
dependency (by creating a wrapper bundle which might have other
dependencies) or duplicating the binary code in memory (please note that
you still use the same single source for the embedded lib, so this is
not code duplication.
