For my point of view, and it is just mine, and it could probably change from your \
input because I don't have much experience with managing OSGi dependencies. The \
                workflow should be the following one:
* declare manually some dependencies in the ivy.xml so build a classpath. These \
dependencies can be declared in the standard ivy way, while targeting an usual \
                ivy/maven repository, or declared in an OSGi way while targeting an \
                OBR.
* then ivy download stuff and build a classpath of bundles; with that classpath you \
                can build you project, or even run the unit tests
* and with this classpath, bnd (with probably some little help of a bnd file) should \
be able to generate a MANIFEST.MF so you can produce a bundle of your project. 

If I'm missing something, please let me know.
