(I've announced this on the Apache Felix Users list too, but its here
for those who don't subscribe to that list).
I am pleased to announce an (unofficial) plugin to make it easy to
debug the Apache Felix OSGi framework from the Eclipse PDE.
The plugin integrates Apache Felix into the Run/Debug Configurations
part of Eclipse. Like the default Equinox Target Platform or the Pax
Runner plugin, you can select which plugins will be loaded into the
framework when you start it up and the plugin creates a launch
configuration for you.
It operates differently from Pax Runner, in that it doesn't build the
plugins before exporting them to bundles to run with Apache Felix. It
can instead work directly with Eclipse project directories. It copies
the resources and pre-compiled class files into an in-memory bundle
before installing them into the framework at startup.
The result seems to be faster than Pax Runner when working with a
large number of projects, as each bundle does not need to be built
first.
For those who are interested, the plugin can be found at:

Any queries or comments feel free to email me.
Cheers
