Hi, Looks like you need one of these:
bnd-tools: http://bndtools.org/ If you use Maven, just use the maven bundle plugin, and write your own Felix bootstrapper (the the example in the Felix docs - this is the hard way): http://wiki.osgi.org/wiki/Maven_Bundle_Plugin osgi-run: https://github.com/renatoathaydes/osgi-run If you just want to avoid Maven and Eclipse (like me) and you like Gradle, try this gradle plugin I wrote. It will create an OSGi environment for you with as little as this in a "build.gradle" file: ################## buildscript { repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { classpath "com.athaydes.gradle.osgi:osgi-run-core:1.1" } } repositories { mavenCentral() } // you can use mavenLocal(), jcenter() etc... see gradle docs apply plugin: 'osgi-run' dependencies { // some examples of bundles to deploy with their (bundle) dependencies osgiRuntime 'org.osgi:org.osgi.core:4.3.1' osgiRuntime 'org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox:1.8.6' osgiRuntime 'commons-logging:commons-logging:1.2' } ################## Now, to create an environment (you need gradle installed): gradle createOsgiRuntime Then, to run: cd build/osgi run.bat # or ./run.sh or ./run.command Remove everything with: gradle clean By default, it will use Felix to run everything and will install the gogo bundles so you can type "lb" for example to see the installed bundles, but you can easily configure it to use Equinox or something else, or to not install transitive bundle dependencies, or not install gogo etc... See the README page.
