Will be deploying a GUI application within felix and would like to

What is the current think for how this should be done in felix? Will it
be similar (identical?) to the oscar's shellgui, tablelayout and plugin
approach? Can I just use those oscar bundles?
You should be able to follow the exact same approach that you used with
Oscar. You can use Oscar bundles directly, however, it is likely that
their manifest ill have to be modified slightly to work with Felix. In
particular, Felix is more strict when it comes to exposing classes on
the class path, so the manifest of some Oscar bundles will need to be
modified to import the packages they use off the class path (e.g.,
javax.swing).
I will try to move the bundles that you mention over to Felix soon, but
in the meantime, just edit the manifest...if you have any difficulty,
let me know.
