Basically by default all the bundles are marked not to be started ("false" in
bundles.info) which is the behavior Neil suggested (there's no check for
activator presence).
If you wish your bundle to be started you have to configure it explicitly - you
can do that following the blog Tom pointed to:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3077282/in-equinox-is-it-possible-to-to-mark-an-osgi-bundle-as-started-from-its-containin
or Shenol's instructions.

As for documentation I believe this page describes the concept of
"configurator" and the existing implementation (simple configurator):
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Configurator
Could you please check if it answers your question? Any feedback how to improve
it would be greatly appreciated by the community.
Kind regards,
Katya

Yes I got your point. I too think you are correct here.
But I'm not clear the what makes it 'true' or 'true' in the bundles.info file.
like, "all bundles that has an activator will be activated by startup."
may be this is a trivial question, but I couldnt find a document
explaining that.
thanks,
