Try Karaf and blueprint :)

What you need is OSGi blueprint.
Quoting Christian Schneider <[email protected]>:
I am not sure.
karaf is typically used as a server to run your bundles on. I am not
sure how well Karaf could work in a kind of embedded mode.
Generally I am not sure if you really need OSGi for that case. A lot of
the complexitiy of OSGi comes from the classloader and the dynamic
nature at runtime.
I think you will not really need those two features. You probably
simply want a kind of plugin system without much overhead.
What could be interesting is a dependency injection framework like
spring or guice. You can configure it to scan the classpath for classes
with special annotations.
So you could create every wizard dialog as a annotated class and put it
into a jar. Then you could start the container and it would pick up the
classes and inject them into a kind of main app.

Thanks Christian.
What I'm looking to develop is an application which embeds the OSGi
framework launcher and uses bundles to extend its functionality.
The actual application will be fairly simple (a graphical
configuration wizard), my idea was to use OSGi and bundles to
provide a core configuration tool application with a bundle per
wizard dialog which will allow the creation of multiple
configuration tools with different combinations of wizards which
are then suited to various products that we produce.
Do you still think Karaf is worth a look?
