Assuming that someone has put the jgoodies stuff into a maven repo
somewhere, you need to add jgoodies as a dependency in the pom file of
the bundle you are modifying (you will need to know the groupId and
artifactId of jgoodies)...you can see the pom file for examples of the
existing dependencies. If you can do this, then your bundle will
automatically be generated with the correct metadata for importing the
packages.
However, this might not be exactly what you want, since it will require
that you install a bundle that exports the jgoodies packages. You have
three options at this point:
1. Creating a bundle to wrap jgoodies...this is pretty easy to do
with bundle plugin.
2. Modify your bundle's pom file to include the necessary jgoodies
packages using
<Private-Package>com.jgoodies.forms.*</Private-Package> or
something similar.
3. Modify your bundle's pom file to embed the jgoodies JAR file into
your bundle using <Embed-Dependency>.
So, first try to browse the maven repo to see if jgoodies is in there.
Then choose one of the options above. Check out the following web page
to see how to create your resulting bundle with the bundleplugin:

pom file in the future. :-)

I'm trying to use jgoodies with a service based bundle with the following
package imports
import com.jgoodies.forms.factories.FormFactory;
import com.jgoodies.forms.layout.CellConstraints;
import com.jgoodies.forms.layout.ColumnSpec;
import com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormLayout;
import com.jgoodies.forms.layout.RowSpec;
What I'm interested in, is how to modify the maven file (from the example) so I can run the install command from Maven. Basically what I did, was add an extra class to one of the extenderbased.x bundles that implemented some of the jgoodies classes (JFormDesigner). I'm really quite new to maven, and not sure how to modify the pom.xml file to allow me to run the install.
The error messages I get are along the line of:
package com.jgoodies.forms.factories does not exist
package com.jgoodies.forms.layout does not exist
Any help will be appriciated!
Thanks
Garrett
