Is there a way to access SocialComponentFactory object in Java thru OSGI?

[jv_chua]

We read about this tutorials about Social Community Framework in Adobe CQ 6.

We want to post Calendar events programmatically and not use the client hbs UI. We would like to know if there is a way we can call classes 'com.adobe.cq.social.commons.client.api.SocialComponentFactory' in our custom Java classes and deploy the bundle to OSGI.

The article that you referenced: http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/social_components.html 

shows how to create an OSGi bundle that contains a class that extends a social class:

public class CustomCommentFactory extends CommentSocialComponentFactory

You can do a similar development pattern and extend the SocialComponentFactory.
