   I have updated the various poms to continue to use `jar` packaging and instead used the maven-jar-plugin to generate the manifest file and the `manifest` goal of the maven-bundle-plugin to populate it. This follows [Felix maven bundle plugin's documentation](https://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html). The plugin scans the various classes, adds their packages to an `Export-Package` list, and adds any dependencies to an `Import-Package` list. The plugin handles all the meta-data generation and needs minimal configuration.
