OSGi meta-data are put in a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of a jar file, these meta-data are only used by OSGi framework like equinox (Eclipse OSGi implementation) but not limited to. These meta-data can be 'injected' into an existing packaged jar file at build time, the produced jar file can continue to serve it purpose but can in the same time be used by OSGi frameworks as bundles. As an example of this technique, you can take a look at the jakarta-commons-el packages (manifest patch) and the way that the Eclipse package use it.
