in my case they aren't junit tests. I would be too complicated so far, but I agree that we need a plugin that launches the framework with the possibility to configure the bundles to install. Unfortunately in our case (UPnP) it is not always sufficient, as some times we should launch external devices too, so automating the tests is not so trivial :(
Creating a plugin to start the framework, install a specific set of bundles and run some tests would be the first step. With this in place we could then perhaps add bundles to simulate specific devices for even more advanced testing scenarios. However, I think we should avoid depending on specific, physical hardware for any of the automated tests because those would never be available on a continuous build server.
