Hopefully the example below is clearer:
// hammer.jar is in the classpath
// hammerl.jar embeds the Felix runtime, and a number of
// OSGi bundles, used internally
// Hammer comes from hammer.jar
Hammer h = HammerFactory.createHammer();
// This must fail: Felix classes, and classes found in mytool.jar
// except the Hammer interfaces, must be "invisible"
Class.forName("org.apache.felix.framework.Felix");

Yes, that shouldn't be too hard, the problem lies more in the
classloader isolation described above.
Thanks for your reply - hope this clarifies what I'm after!
