Richard can you explain the rational behind the bundle cache and why it can't
be disabled?
Well, the spec says that we have to have a cache, but that doesn't stop
us from creating some non-spec way of disabling the cache.
However, lots of people simply talk of "disabling the cache", but they
never really make it clear what the mean by this. As I mention here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-465
There are two meanings, which do you mean?

Subject: Re: Disable bundle cache?
Short answer, no. At least not in the sense of truly "disabling the
bundle cache", because the mere fact that you want Felix to remember
that there are bundles in the cache to re-get means that it must be
saving something.
However, you can install a JAR file into the cache by reference using a
URL like "reference:file:/path/to/jar", but this approach is not perfect
if you have embedded JAR files and/or native code.

Is it possible to disable the bundle cache? In other words, make
Felix always get the bundle from the jar file, not from the cache?
I've found the configuration parameters that allow me to change the
profile directory, and the default profile, but nothing that would
turn off the cache.
Thanks,
