I am already building bundles with Maven and the maven-bundle-plugin,
which uses bnd. The point of this query is that OSGi dependency
management is clearly not quite the same thing as Maven.

In the maven dependency graph, once resolved, there can only be one
version for a given Group/Artifact. In OSGi, you can have many version
of the same bundle.

So, starting from a set of root bundles, even expressed as Maven
dependencies, it's not obvious how to inventory the required bundles.
And that's not even counting the possibility of using a bundle that
has no associated Maven POM, and thus offers no particular clue as to
where to find a bundle that exports the packages that it imports.

I know that Tycho tries to insert this sort of thing into Maven, but
my prior experience with Tycho was not very encouraging.
