Thanks Stuart and Karl. I was under the impression that a bundle had to be a Jar, I never realised that all that is required is the META-INF directory (thanks Stuart). Karl, In the config properties URL, I put file:// not file: as the protocol :-( Everything is working now, thanks guys, you've been a massive help. Much appreciated, Tom
