It's been a while. I can't be much more specific. I remember I had a lot of trouble with tycho, so I gave up on that. I used the BND tool for generating all module manifests. In the end after successfully using OSGi for distribution, and guaranteeing module separation in a 250kloc project I led, I've decided that separate api and impl modules managed by maven are good enough, with lints to guard against Class.forName() shananegans. My point is: I personally worked really hard to make OSGi work, it was not fun, I'm sure I was doing something out of the norm, and I'm not a Java novice. So having something baked into the language and jdk would make this experience better. (I am not advocating for Jigsaw over OSGi, btw, just native language and tool support for a modularity).
