将Apache stanbol嵌入Java应用程序（Maven）

Question

I am fairly new to maven and I cannot figure out how do I embed Apache Stanbol in my Maven application.

I have added the below dependency to my pom, the <type> is pom as there is no jar available in the repository.

`</dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.stanbol</groupId>
        <artifactId>apache-stanbol</artifactId>
        <version>0.12.0</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>`

How do I include Apache Stanbol in my java application, like open-nlp which is straight forward

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.opennlp</groupId> <artifactId>opennlp-tools</artifactId> <version>1.5.3</version> </dependency>

Apache Stanbol is OSGi based and if your application is OSGi based you can simply install the relavant bundles into your runtime. But if your application is not OSGi you will need to launch an embedded OSGi runtime and configure relevant Stanbol bundles there.

This mail thread discusses this question [1] and the proposed solution is to configure Stanbol in an embedded Felix runtime as explained in [2]. However I haven't found an example where Stanbol has been embedded in a non OSGi application so far.
