Hi Kostas, as Chris wrote, you don't use the activator to install a bundle into a framework. In the most basic setup, you use org.osgi.framework.BundleContext.installBundle(path-to-bundle-jar) to add a bundle to a framework; or you can use anything more clever (like Felix File Install, http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-file-install.html).
