Answer 1

The dependency you added is the OSGi Core API.

You need an implementation like equinox, felix or knopflerfish.

E.g.:

Instead of adding the dependency you mentioned, add

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.apache.felix.main</artifactId>
    <version>5.6.2</version>
</dependency>
