Ok, I finally got it working, with some debugging that lead me to learn you
need:

-Dosgi.console.enable.builtin=true

(or set as a Framework property) in order to get a console.

However, unlike previous versions (pre-juno) there is no base shell
whatsoever. This means that you cannot interactively install the more
advanced gogo shell from the command line.

This does nothing:
java -jar
equinox-SDK-3.8RC4/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.8.0.v20120529-1548.jar
-console

This does nothing:
java -jar
equinox-SDK-3.8RC4/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.8.0.v20120529-1548.jar
-Dosgi.console.enable.builtin=true

The second scenario which is the "new and improved" configuration, which
won't actually do anything until there is actually a console bundle
implementation available, but you can't install the console bundle(s)
because there is no shell.

Wouldn't this make bootstrapping a bare instance impossible?

Can someone correct me on this? Maybe I've missed something.

Sincerely,
