I think this whole discussion really revolves around what you mean by "launcher". What behavior or functionality are you expecting the "launcher" to do. To answer your question directly about Equinox, Equinox comes with a native executable (typically eclipse.exe or launcher.exe) that does all manner of fancy stuff around splash screens, JVM discovery and invocation etc. It can be branded with icons etc to match your product requirements. Installation of bundles can be done declaratively in the config.ini file with not need for any additional bundles. If you are using the o.e.e.simpleconfigurator bundle, you can use the bundles.info file for a bit easier management and manipulation If you want really sophisticated provisioning and installation facilities, look at Equinox p2. If you are looking for embedding the framework in another Java environment then there are calls you can do using the standard OSGi launching API. So, it really depends on exactly what you are hoping for.
