[jira] Closed: (SLING-563) Allow non-bundle jars to be loaded as bundles using external metadata

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-563?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Carsten Ziegeler closed SLING-563.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I think we should close this bug. Above are enough reasons against this feature and there are efforts (like the spring osgi repo) which provide nearly all libs as OSGi bundles anywax.

> Just read Dan Diephouse's post at [1] and I like the idea of "bundleizing" existing jar files using separate metadata files, to be able to load them unmodified.
> There are certainly security issues in doing this, but in a secure environment it might make it much easier to use any jar as an OSGi bundle.
