FreeMarker template loading is not file system based. See
Configuration.setTemplateLoader(...), or the convenience methods like
setClassLoaderForTemplateLoading. So as far as OSGi allows the
FreeMarker classes to access the classes of the other bundle (which
contains the templates), a ClassTemplateLoader should do the trick.
