Adding OSGi bundles to a Liberty feature project

A Liberty feature includes OSGi bundles that contain classes and services. The classes and services implement the functions that the Liberty feature provides. You can include OSGi bundles in a Liberty feature that was created with the WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools by adding the bundles to the corresponding Liberty feature project.

To add OSGi bundles to a Liberty feature project, complete the following steps:

1. From the Project Explorer view, open the feature manifest file for the Liberty feature project by double-clicking the Manifest node in the project hierarchy, indicated by the manifest icon ().
2. In the Contained Bundles pane, click Add to select one or more bundles to add to the Liberty feature project, or click New to create a new OSGi bundle to add to the Liberty feature project.
   For information on creating an OSGi bundle, see Creating OSGi bundle projects.
3. (Optional) Specify the version range for the contained bundle by selecting the bundle, clicking Properties, and entering the required values in the Minimum Version and Maximum Version fields.
4. (Optional) Use the Location field in the Properties dialog box to specify the location where you want the bundle to be packaged when exported, relative to the product extension installation folder. If you want the bundle to be packaged in more than one location, enter the locations as a comma-separated list. By default, the bundle is packaged in the /lib folder.
