Just for a point of reference, what some of the folks in the Spring OSGi
world have been doing is just putting the "bin" (whatever) dirs on the
Bundle-Classpath in the manifest. That works at dev time and at regular
runtime that dir does not exist. This is basically a hack equivalent of
the dev classpath support we have talked about in the past. Implementing
the dev classpath support is not that complex so I would go that route.
Yeah, I forgot about that "trick"...

Reading your issue about slow start up due to having to create bundle
JAR files...I think this can be partially avoided by doing install by
reference (i.e., "reference:"); however, as I understand it, this would
require that you structure your project a little differently, such as
having your classes compiled into the root or something (Tom might be
able to explain).
Without dev classpath support in the framework you need to place all you
source and output folders at the root of your projects. Then you should
be able to use a reference: URL to install the project directory as a
bundle. This only works because the root of the project will look like
a bundle to the framework with the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and .class files
located directly from your project directory. Another limitation is
you must only put '.' on your Bundle-ClassPath (or do not
define a Bundle-ClassPath since this is the default).

There was some discussion about getting Felix to support a
development-time class path, but this hasn't been prioritized yet. See:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-136
