Hi Konstantinos Apologies, I generally assume that users know how to setup Eclipse for an OSGi framework, as I wrote the plugin as a substitute for using Equinox. Admittedly, it was designed for experienced users who are familiar with developing OSGi in Eclipse, and wanted tighter integration and a simpler solution than Pax Runner. It should still be possible for beginner's to use it, but it requires more setup.
1. Configure your workspace's Target Platform. You can do this in the Preferences under OSGi Frameworks. The target platform is just a set of OSGi bundles you want to always debug with, usually infrastructure components that you sourced from other parties, such as Apache Felix and some of its Compendium implementations. I usually add a copy of the Felix framework bundle and any other "infrastructure" bundles I want (such as OSGi console, Config Admin, Declarative Services runtime, etc). You don't add your own bundles - they are assembled automatically from the projects in your workspace. 2. Add any OSGi projects to your workspace that you want to debug with. 3. Goto Debug -> Debug Configurations... (the little bug button). Create an OSGi framework configuration, set the OSGi framework to Apache Felix. Checkbox any bundles you want to run in this debug configuration from your target platform and your workspace, and then click Debug! Basically, the process is the same as debugging with Eclipse Equinox, another OSGi framework (which has builtin support in Eclipse).
