Apache Felix Host expose dependencies OSGi

I am using Apache Felix to create an embedded OSGi host application. I am using the following code to expose the packages I want to expose:

List<String> extra = new ArrayList<>();
extra.add("some.example.packag.to.expose.1");
extra.add("some.example.packag.to.expose.2");
extra.add("some.example.packag.to.expose.3");
config.put(Constants.FRAMEWORK_SYSTEMPACKAGES_EXTRA, extra.toString().replace("[","").replace("]", ""));

Everything works great and these packages are exposed. However, I need the bundles to have access to ALL the host project declared dependencies. So for example the parent application has Jackson, Apache (various), etc. declared and I need the bundles to have access to these.

I tried adding the packages explicitly but that does not seem to do the trick when they are dependencies. So for example in the bundle I want to use Jacksons com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.TypeReference; so I added com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type to the above EXTRA list but it does not appear to solve the problem, the package still doesn't get exposed.

In a perfect work I just want to make ALL the host dependencies available without having to explicitly state each one.

You will have to configure each package. In OSGi you would normally install the dependencies as bundles. So the settings do not suppot to mass export system packages.
