Can you clarify? I assume you mean that osgi is doing a little bit of magic with respect to embedded JARs and native libraries, so you can't use those portions straight up. But they are still jar files, with a jar-manifest, classes where java expects them (except in the embedded JAR case), and so on. I haven't had a whole lot of luck with plain jar files as bundles, I'll have to read up in the spec how they are to be treated.
