Apache ServiceMix tends to repackage a lot of 3rd party libraries as bundles, so that's one method. End users can use things like bnd to generate a manifest for 3rd party jars (e.g., installing jars using the "wrap:" URI in Apache Karaf), though that's kind of similar to automodules in JPMS which isn't the best thing.
