You are indeed right, that quickstart does seem lacking. You should probably ask those questions on the Equinox newsgroup. That would likely trigger an update of the quickstart guide to cover the case you are after (and some additional capabilities that are available)

Thanx for the pointer, I will check it out. And about equinox, from the equinox page there is a suggestion to use eclipse runtime and update, so it's not directly embedded in equinox. "Now, if you want to make things even easier, you can add in a few Eclipse bundles (i.e., org.eclipse.core.runtime and org.eclipse.update.configurator). This gives you an application model, automatic bundle discovery/install, extension registry, ... Standard Eclipse tooling configurations use this approach. See the Eclipse plug-in list for plug-ins that may be useful to you." http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/documents/quickstart.php however I can't really find good documentation on which parts to use and how to use it...
