FYI, bundles do not have to be packaged as a jar - it is possible to install bundles that are unpacked, as well as install from a (jar) input stream. For "unpacked" bundles the manifest is located in "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF". Apologies if my understanding is of this concept is completely wrong :-) > > Tom > -- Cheers, Stuart
