There are a few options on the table now:
1) Unzip one of the binary distros from Tuscany into TUSCANY_HOME
2) Use maven dependency plugin to copy project dependencies to TUSCANY_HOME
(see the node-launcher-osgi/pom.xml).
PS: If you use our tuscany-maven-osgi-junit plugin, it will create the
bundles automatically from the maven dependency list.
3) Rajini recently added a module [1] which will produce a fat jar file
which contains all the tuscany and 3rd party bundles on the dependency list.
We might be able use it to produce an OSGi-enabled tuscany distro.

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/java/sca/itest/osgi-tuscany/tuscany-versioned
4) Explore the possibility to use the Eclipse Equinox run/debug profile to
launch Tuscany inside OSGi.
We don't have a very good story yet. Any ideas are welcome.

Subject: How to build a Tuscany OSGi environment?
I'm trying to build a Tuscany environment that includes some of the
latest Tuscany OSGi integration.
My use case is that I want Tuscany to bootstrap OSGi for me when I start
a Tuscany node, as it'll help the node load different levels of runtime
extension and dependency bundles. I want to start with Equinox for now
(I'll test with Felix later).
We have both Equinox and Felix. Felix is better tested ATM.
I have some questions:
What Tuscany modules do I need to add to my POM as dependencies?
If you use tuscany-node-launcher-osgi to launch the node, you will need
to have dependencies to compile your app (such as sca-api and node-api).
The other tuscany and 3rd party runtime jars (bundles) will be discovered
from TUSCANY_HOME and TUSCANY_PATH system properties or environment
variables.
Right, but before they get found under TUSCANY_HOME, somebody has to put
them there... I'm that guy at the moment, trying to copy the JARs under my
TUSCANY_HOME, and my question is: which JARs do I need to copy?
