first some background, the general Include-Resource syntax is:
<Include-Resource>iclause,iclause,...</Include-Resource>
where:
iclause ::= inline | copy
copy ::= '{' process '}' | process
process ::= assignment | simple
assignment ::= PATH '=' PATH
simple ::= PATH
inline ::= '@' PATH ( '!/' PATH? ('/**' | '/*')? )?
( taken from the Bnd docs at http://aqute.biz/Code/Bnd#include-resource )
by default the bundle-plugin will add all maven resources to
Include-Resource,
ie. any files in src/main/resources will be copied to the bundle - so for
example
src/main/resources/META-INF/foo would be copied to META-INF/foo.
however, if you explicitly set Include-Resource then maven resources won't
be
copied unless you add {maven-resources} to the includes (see issue
FELIX-343)
now, to get back to your question :)
any dependency on the compilation classpath can be unpacked using:
@artifactId-version.jar!/PATH
so:
<Include-Resource>
@geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-${jpa.version}.jar!/META-INF/**
</Include-Resource>
should copy the META-INF folder from the dependency into the bundle.

that's ok - the bnd tool can use the compilation classpath to locate
resources
