There isn't an OSGi mechanism to do this. To get it to work in an OSGi
environment you need a bundle that correctly exports all of the packages
that it contains. Are you saying the packages will be the same, even if
it is spread out over multiple jars?
You could create a bundle/version for each jar configuration and then
install that depending on what's in the Shared/*.jar ... you could even
create that bundle on the fly, as all it needs is a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
that points to the expanded list of jars (your installer can sniff the
directory and figure that out).
The other alternative is to try and add those jars to the application
classpath (so they're visible to all bundles) ... you'd have to provide
your own script that set up the classpath before the eclipse launcher
was called.
