I would like to see a Pax Assembler that has the same advantages of  
Pax Runner but instead builds a directory or assembly that contains  
all the referenced/dependent bundles and scripts/configuration that  
will start them at startup.  Then I could use Pax to build my app and  
then deploy as an entire application using the container of my  
choice.  Right now as a developer I have to reproduce all of the work  
that PAX does to determine dependencies at assembly time.

I would also like to see this extended to other enviroments like  
webstart or webapps.  It would be nice to be able to have a single app  
and then say I want this to be a standalone app with felix  
underneath.  I want to embed equinox in a war file or I want to run  
osgi in a webstart app.  And other cases like embedded deployments  
would also be interesting.

The last piece that would be nice to consider is native code building  
and bundling and how they would work in the above deployment scenarios.

Thanks for all the hard work on PAX and I'm looking forward to seeing  
where it can go from here!
