Installing OSGi jars on Lotus Domino 8.5.3

I'm working on a Servlet which I am deploying as an OSGi Plugin on a Lotus Domino Server (8.5.3).

The servlet uses HttpClient to make REST style requests of a backend server.

Currently Domino 8.5.3 ships with org.apache.commons.httpclient (3.0.0.20110912-1350). I would really like to use org.apache.httpcomponents.httpclient-4.2.1.

Any idea how I can deploy the jars (there are dependencies, core, logging, codec) on the Server so that they are available to my osgi plugin?

I've had quite a bit of help getting this far but this one is defeating me, and I have code that works if only I had access to the httpcomponents.httpclient api :-)

Many many thanks in advance :-)

Don't know if Lotus Domino is a OSGi capable server, but usually you just need to add a version to your import-package part for the httpclient api packages. For example your Mantifest should contain something like

Import-Package: org.apache.httpclient;version=[4.2,5)

Now if Lotus Domino is a OSGi capable server it should be straight forward to deploy your httpclient jar in version 4.2.1 (I think this one already does contain a manifest declaring the right packages) In case this is not the case you might want to create your own OSGi-ready httpclient package, the BND tools and the apache maven-bundle-plugin will help you on that.
