I could be wrong but it looks like you are trying to install a JAR file in AEM Felix Console. You can only install bundles which is a Jar file containing manifest file which contains all necessary information for OSGi framework.

There are 2 ways you can add external dependency/jar as a bundle in AEM :

1. Using Maven BND plugin to add external dependencies as part of your project bundle using embed.

2. Create a bundle from a jar using eclipse or any other tool that supports

Hi Sachin,

Thanks for the reply

So I found a way to convert jar to OSGI bundles.

I found a video on youtube that shows how to run a 'jar' command in cmd to convert a jar file to OSGi bundle provided the manifest file is given.

1. I found the manifest file details with the existing services on publishers. Copied and created a new text file, ran this command below with the jar file to add the manifest.

jar cvfm jtds-1.3.1.jar Manifest.txt jtds-1.3.1.jar

I changed the name of the file so it matches the name as mentioned for symbolic name in the manifest details found earlier.

There were 2 bundles that were needed an install on the localhost instance, netforgedrive and jtds which both came from jtds jar file. I converted them into OSGI bundles and installed it but facing another error.

Some declarative components under day commons are not able to start. Showing as status failure.
