There are multiple options to achieve this. 1. Pax Runner - Use Pax Runner [1] if you want your bare bone OSGi container. See [2] for some example. It allows you to package and launch an OSGi container 2. Use existing applications like Apache Karaf to package your bundle 3. Use maven-launchpad-plugin [3] to package the bundle as part of single executable jar. This is currenly limited to supporting Felix and would not work for Equinox. See [4] as one example of this plugin in action which packages a bunch of bundles as part of an example application
