I guess Stefano is referring to changing the code interactively

I'm still using a standard Java project without mvn plugin, in this
configuration when I set a breakpoint, for example in the "switch
on/off" action of the TV bundle, and during the debugging I save a
modified version of the source code (without new types or any other
heavy modification) the debugger is able to reload the class (I'm
supposing) and update the execution flow immediately. Of course if you
stop Felix and restart it again your changes are lost, but it's
sufficient to save again the sources (e.g with a new blank space) to
force again the reloading of the class.
All that installing the bundle in the standard way (not references ...)
I think this still works because Peter was showing me how to do some
debugging in Eclipse at ApacheCon and we did this exact thing.
For me is not working anymore :-( I was able to do that with Oscar but
it never worked with Eclipse for me :-(
Although,
the way I set it was was to connect to a running VM...I did not run
Felix from Eclipse...but I don't think that would be much different that
if you created a launcher in Eclipse.
So if Peter knows will be nice if he can share how to do that :)
I don't really know.
Also, as another option, you can install exploded bundle directories by
reference too.
I'll give it a try and I let you know...
