I want to make the build process for my Eclipse RCP plugin fully automatic. It has some third-party jar dependencies (available from Maven repositories) which are not distributed as OSGi bundles, and currently I use the “Eclipse plugin from existing JAR archives” wizard to convert them manually. Can PDEBuild or Maven/Tycho (or perhaps some other build system) do it as a step of the build?

Peter Tillemans mentioned the PAX wrap jar command in this post
The Maven bundle plugin from Apache Felix may be worth a look, too.
Maybe the Bundlor tool from SpringSource can handle the creation of osgi bundles from jar, too.
