Netbeans: Could I use Apache Felix for a home-maintained repo of Java libs?

Question

Hello!

I'm using Netbeans. Often I need to specify own libraries, used by my projects. It is very unhandy to maintain them across multiple workspaces.

As far as I understand correctly, Apache Felix, an implementation of OSGI's module system, could manage such libraries (provide versioning, automatic dependency resolvability, ...)

If this is correct, is there a somehow straightforward way to integrate Apache Felix into Netbeans?

BTW: Can't wait for Jigsaw module system in Java 7
