Hi, I am using Felix and Spring-DM, which has excellent support for Quartz scheduling inside an OSGI container. Spring-DM takes care of the lifecycle of the jobs when updating/uninstalling bundles. The Quartz context is best exposed as an OSGI service however, so all jobs share the same context (if needed of course). Hibernate is a bit more complicated inside OSGI, since Hibernate uses bytecode weaving to intercept changes to the entities, and this gets messy when crossing the bundle boundaries. It is possible however, and I am using EclipseLink entities in OSGI without a problem.
