Hi Chetan, Thanks a lot for the response. What I want is to package all the bundles in some structure in the final distribution so that when the user extracts it and run say *sh run.sh* all the bundles will be installed into an osgi runtime. The usage of OSGi should be hidden from the user. I believe option 3 will be helpful. Thanks again, PJ
