I just installed the pax runner plugin in maven and got my "hello world"

From my experience the best companion for hot code replacement and
debug in eclipse is pax-cursor [1] which is basically a front-end shaped
as eclipse-plugin for pax-runner [2]. Unfortunately, AFAIK there is no
integration between maven and pax-cursor.
Alternately, you may consider to use pax-construct (aka Maven Pax
Plugin) [3] which, by means of pax:provision (or pax:run) goal, inspect
the pom for starting an OSGi platform with all the required bundles. In
this way, you won't be able to use hot-code replacement neither
debugging, unless you instruct the Maven Pax Plugin to start the JVM
containing OSGi with the remote debugging option (i.e.: -Xdebug
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 [4]).
If you want you can look at the pom.xml of in all the upnp subproject
[5] as example of how to use the maven-pax-plugin.

Pax runner is awesome! You should definitely give it a look. That
said, the only problem you might run into, which I've run into as well
and just haven't had the time to do anything about it, is that Pax
Runner will use its own internal mechanism to resolve bundles that are
maven dependencies and so won't use artifacts from the reactor. I've
been meaning to either try and patch the pax:run mojo to fix that, or
wrap the pax:run goal in another plugin that does the resolution and
then hands off the resolved artifacts to pax runner. One day I may
even clear up a few hours in which to do it.

Hi all,
I was wondering what the best practice was for launching OSGI
applications
from maven was. I've been trying to launch applications by using say
the
easybeans felix launcher and calling that plugin's goal from the run
configuration. This has been giving me quite a bit of trouble, and I
can't
really find ANY documentation on how people are launching their OSGI
applications in a maven environment. Any insight, experiences, or best
practices would be much appreciated. I also need to ensure that hot code
replace will work.
Thanks!
