You have to generate the bundle/manifest from something; that should have full visibility of the JARs that are contained within the bundle at build time, so it's a trivial build issue to solve. If you want to use something which installs all bundles in a directory, then either Peter's FileInstall (available at felix.apache.org) or the P2 Director is able to bulk-install all JARs in a directory into a running OSGi runtime. There's no concept of an 'ext dir' per se, given that all bundles must be installed ahead of time, but the tools mentioned above allow you to trivially add a new bundle into a runtime by copying into a new area. In the case of your example, you'd do: java -Dfelix.fileinstall.dir=c:\jars -jar org.eclipse.osgi_*.jar osgi> install fileinstall.jar osgi> start 1 http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-file-install.html Note that whilst P2 is the Eclipse case, there's next to no documentation on how to use it, and so the Felix FileInstall is generally preferred for that reason.
