How to convert the third-party jar file to OSGI bundle

URL to download the third party Jar file.
                        http://maven.ibiblio.org/maven2/junit/junit/4.4/

Pre-requisite :
                     - JRE 1.8 
                     - AEM instance up and running

Solution :

• Create a manifest.txt file and add the below code:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Created-By: Yourname

Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2

Bundle-Name: JUnit 4.4 bundle

Bundle-Description: Package junit 4.4 in an OSGi bundle

Bundle-Version: 4.4.0

Bundle-ClassPath: .,junit-4.4.jar

Bundle-SymbolicName: org.junit.framework

Export-Package: junit.framework,junit.extensions,org.junit.runner,org.junit,junit.textui

Where -

• Bundle-ClassPath - Specify the Original jar file name here.
• Export-Package  - Shows the list of package contained in the junit-4.4.jar file

Use the below command to convert the Third party jar file to OSGI bundle
                   

• Open the commond propmpt and navigate to the path where manifest.txt & Junit-4.4 jar file was downloaded and created the manifest.txt.

• Run the below commond to convert custom third-party jar file to OSGI bundle

                             D:\jar cvfm junit-4.4-bundle.jar manifest.txt junit-4.4.jar

where - junit-4.4-bundle.jar is the Osgi bundle name

junit-4.4.jar - downloaded third party Jar file

manifest.txt - the file created above.

That's it - OSGI bundle created(provided there is no external jar file dependency to the Junit-4.4.jar file)
