How to use a 3rd party non-OSGi dependency?
What is the best way to convert a 3rd party jar into an OSGi bundle?

Thank you all for your responses. I hope I can resolve this today.
Unfortunately, I cannot use Maven as the build tool, as much as I'd like
to. I have to use Gradle.
I did try making the 3rd party library an osgi bundle using Peter Kriens
bnd tool. But I still get a ClassNotFoundException when running the
application. I put an example project on GitHub to demonstrate what the
problem is. I did search the Spring OBR
here<http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle?query=M>but the
library is not to be found.
This is the first time I've heard of the servicemix project. It looks
interesting and worth more investigation, but I didn't find anything about
the particular jar I'm looking for. I'm looking for
"com.miglayout:miglayout-javafx:4.2". I installed servicemix and in the
console used feature:list. I saw a bunch of bundles but didn't find what
I'm looking for.

Also, the Spring EBR?

Hi,
Just as a little hint, you might want to check the servicemix project,
because it already converted lots of 3rd party projects. It might happen
that it's already available as osgi bundle. Besides that the servicemix
project does use the maven shade plugin for conversion.

Hi Elliot,
There are several option. I think the "best way" really depends on your use case. If you have one bundle where your code depends on 3rd party jar you can add it as embeded dependency. I usually prefer this approach. If you use maven as your build system this can be added with maven-bundle-plugin and <Embed-Dependency> instruction.
It's also pretty simple to convert 3r party jars into OSGi bundles by adding OSGi headers to it's manifest file. It depends on your 3rd party licensing if you can change their jars though. You can also export embedded packages from your bundle if other bundles need them. But I am not sure if this is considered best practice since it obfuscates versioning of your 3rd party library. It's an option though if you don't care about this.
There are some other options like boot delegation. But that's normally used for system level libraries.
