How to add a bundle manifest to an existing maven dependency?

I am using the Adobe XMP Core dependency within a maven file

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.xmp</groupId>
    <artifactId>xmpcore</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.2</version>
</dependency>

The MANIFEST.MF of that bundle is not suited for osgi deployment, as no bundle specific information was provided. So I would need to add the following lines to that Manifest.mf

Bundle-ClassPath: .
Bundle-Version: 5.1.2
Bundle-Name: xmpcore    
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.adobe.xmp.xmpcore
Export-Package: 
 com.adobe.xmp;version="5.1.2",
 com.adobe.xmp.impl;version="5.1.2",
 com.adobe.xmp.impl.xpath;version="5.1.2",

Is there a way of unpacking this maven artefact and exchanging the provided manifest via the maven dependency plugin or any different way?

IIRC, Eclipse Virgo Bundlor can do that work for you. http://www.eclipse.org/virgo/documentation/bundlor-documentation-1.1.1.RELEASE/docs/user-guide/htmlsingle/user-guide.html#usage.command.line

Virgo Bundlor will add all export-Package statements + all import statements which he can find via declared import-statements in your java-files. If the jar uses dynamic classloading, you need to add a template.mf file with the additional import.

For runtime enhancement use the Pax URL Wrap Project. If you have this bundle in your environment add the wrap: url-schema to your bundle installation it will auto-wrap your bundle on the fly.
