I am using maven-bundle-plugin to build a war file as a bundle which I would like to deploy in Felix. Here is the POM file for the same.

When I build it using maven install, I can see a logically correct MANIFEST.MF file in the META-INF folder of the war bundle. Here is MANIFEST.MF.

But when I deploy it in Apache Felix and start it, I see following error.
g! org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unresolved constraint in bundle war-bundle [5]: Unable to resolve 5.0: missing requirement [5.0] osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=com.sun.jersey.api.core)
Package com.sun.jersey.api.core is part of jersey-core-1.11.jar which is already there mentioned in Bundle-ClassPath in MANIFEST.MF then why do I get this error?
If I start putting respective bundle file like bundle for jersey-core-1.11.jar then issue is resolved but I do not see it as a very good solution. In fact for this purpose only maven bundle plugin provided and tags.
Please advice.
