Yes, understand. I did get the bundle loaded via config.ini so that makes it loaded via reference. So if I were to write a bundle manager kind of bundle that used Bundle.installBundle(String, InputStream) and Bundle.installBundle(String)
to install bundles into my runtime passing file: urls - in that case I think I should be able to achieve what I am trying i.e dynamically loading/updating modules when needed.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Equinox development mailing list" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2008, 2:42 PM If bundles are installed by reference (via reference: URL) Equinox doesn't guarantee anything to bundles which you replace, while they are still running. Although OSGi is considered dynamic, such scenarios are not supported. AFAIK, p2 and old Eclipse Update installs all bundles by reference. Such scenarios can be supported if the bundle was copied to the Equinox storage and not referenced. Bundles which are installed through Bundle.installBundle(String, InputStream) and Bundle.installBundle(String) are copied (unless the URL passed to the installBundle(String) is reference: URL) are copied to the storage. Does this answer your question?
