Simpleconfigurator is I believe completely generic and could be used on 
other frameworks. It does have some optional Equinox dependencies. 
Simpleconfigurator.manipulator requires frameworkadmin. There was a time 
in the past when we had prototypes of frameworkadmin for Felix and 
Knopplerfish but those were abandoned. The purpose was always for the 
frameworkadmin API to remain generic, and then have separate 
implementations per framework. There are some related bugs with a small 
amount of historical info:

Although simpleconfigurator has no 'p2' in its namespace it is maintained 
by the p2 team.  So this may be a better question for p2-dev.  That being 
said I know that simple configurator has a goal to not depend on anything 
out side of the framework.  It is driven by the content of bundles.info. 
The bundles.info file is managed by the rest of p2 (or anything else, 
simpleconfigurator does not care who manages that file as long as it uses 
the the expected syntax/format).  Others from p2 may be able to point you 
to some efforts from a while back to run p2 on other frameworks besides 
Equinox.

Hi Folks,

A couple of questions about simpleconfigurator (and simpleconfigurator 
manipulator):

1) I see from a casual look at the dependencies that it only imports 
org.osgi packages...does this mean that SC/SCM can run on other 
frameworks (e.g. Felix)?
2) I assume that simple configurator depend upon FrameworkAdmin 
service...is that right?  What other services does it depend upon?
3) Is there a web/wiki page that has docs WRT these questions and/or 
others?   I found [1], but it's maybe a little dated (?)

thanksinadvance,

Scott
