However the one binary I can't pull from here is felix.jar. I
understand in a runtime this makes no sense as the jar is already
there but in sigil at development time it would be neat if I could
just point my development environment at this file and have it link to
the felix.jar to satisfy import package requirements.

Thoughts?

One related thought that came to mind was, if we include felix.jar like this, we could also try making it a bundle itself. That way we could also start experimenting with embedding felix in felix (or some other framework).

Another thing we could then try is to make a launcher which fetches an instance of a framework an launches it through the new API. That way our launcher would be even simpler and more lightweight, and it could also be used to launch other framework implementations.
