Hi,
I was finally able to get this to work. Here are the things I had to do.
1) I upgraded OSGi from 3.4 version to 3.6, just in case that was the problem.
2) I had missed including jetty-servlets jar in the list of bundles, so included that jar
3) Started a small webapp, as mentioned above. Did not run into issues. Was able to set defaultDescriptor as null
4) Later used WebAppProvider class, but this kept failing with this problem (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29274336/getting-java-lang-classnotfoundexception-org-eclipse-jetty-servlet-listener-int)
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.listener.IntrospectorCleaner
In order to resolve this, had to alter the jetty-webapp manifest to import org.jetty.servlet.listener package.
Now the webapps are correctly getting deployed for me. I also had to specify a proper defaultDescriptor for it to work when using WebAppProvider
Also another problem I found was that the server does not now work with my legacy web applications, as the DTD for web.xml appears to be different
My web.xml had <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd">, and this was causing error

So overall was able to get things to work, but looks like I will have to make a lot of changes here and there :(.
Thanks for all the help.
Thanks,
Srijith
There are people on this forum that work on the jetty-osgi layers, stick around, they'll show up.
You might have more luck using those layers vs making your own bundle.
I just can't help you, as I avoid OSGi with a 100km pole.
But I know that the jetty-osgi layers represent at least 1,000 man hours of effort between all of the jetty and osgi experts that commit to it.
