JBoss jBPM 5.3.0.Final problem in Apache Karaf OSGi Runtime

EMF works, Drools works, but now cannot start the jBPM bundle :

Plain EMF inside Apache Karaf OSGi Runtime

Since EMF bundles doesn't work out-of-the-box inside Karaf, and installing Eclipse libraries wreak havoc. I think it's better to simulate "plain EMF" inside OSGi.

Required patches are:

1. org.eclipse.emf.common :
   remove Require-Bundle from MANIFEST.MF
   
   remove Bundle-Activator

2. org.eclipse.emf.ecore:
   replace Require-Bundle with: Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.emf.common
   
   Import-Package: org.eclipse.emf.ecore,org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl,org.e
   clipse.emf.ecore.plugin,org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource,org.eclipse.em
   f.ecore.resource.impl,org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util,org.eclipse.emf.ecor
   e.xml.namespace,org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.namespace.impl,org.eclipse.
   emf.ecore.xml.namespace.util,org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type,org.eclip
   se.emf.ecore.xml.type.impl,org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type.internal,or
   g.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type.util,org.xml.sax,org.xml.sax.helpers,
   org.xml.sax.ext,org.w3c.dom,javax.xml.parsers,javax.xml.namespace,
   javax.xml.datatype
   
   remove Bundle-Activator

3. org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi:
   replace Require-Bundle with: Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.emf.common,org.eclipse.emf.ecore
   
   Import-Package: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi,org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.im
   pl,org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.util,org.xml.sax,org.xml.sax.helpers,
   org.xml.sax.ext,org.w3c.dom,javax.xml.parsers,javax.xml.namespaceremove Bundle-Activator

EMF not yet runnable in Apache Karaf OSGi Runtime

My attempt at deploying EMF inside Karaf 2.2.8 has not yet been successful.

I've tried adding Import-Package instruction:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.7</version>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    <configuration>
        <instructions>
            <Import-Package>*, org.eclipse.emf.ecore, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.plugin</Import-Package>
        </instructions>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>manifest</id>
            <phase>process-classes</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>manifest</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

However the mere mention of an EMF Factory :

processCatalog = ProcessFactory.eINSTANCE.createProcessCatalog();

Throws exception:

Note that I'm also unable to start any EMF bundles:

karaf@root> start 213
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Activator start error in bundle org.eclipse.emf.common [213].

But there's no error log to be found.

How to Install EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) Plug-ins/Bundles on Apache Karaf OSGi Runtime

EMF depends on org.eclipse.core.runtime via Require-Bundle, which in turn depends on org.eclipse.osgi, org.eclipse.equinox.common etc.

I think there's should a better way to use EMF "cleanly" in Karaf. But for now this works:
